Hunter had initially chosen psychology as his major at Colorado. However, he decided to switch and take up anthropology as his major instead.

Last year in November, the two-way star told USA Today Sports the reason behind this decision. He also highlighted the role it could play in his professional football journey in the NFL.

"I'm an anthropology major, and I really enjoy learning about different cultures and how they interact with one another," Hunter said via USAToday.com. "Being able to to learn about these cultures and skills is incredibly beneficial to me even when playing football.
