Three takeaways from Florida A&M's spring game

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Florida A&M’s Orange and Green Spring Game got started with a bang.

On the first play from scrimmage, redshirt sophomore wide receiver Chad Hunter – a former Rickards standout -- got the 7,622 fans in Bragg Memorial Stadium on their feet.

Hunter got behind the Orange defense on a skinny post route and then outran the defense to the end zone for a 75-yard touchdown from returning starting quarterback Ryan Stanley.

It was his first touchdown of the day.

Hunter added another touchdown on an 11-yard catch on a diving reception in the back of the end zone on the next possession.

“That’s my guy. That’s a playmaker, and that’s what playmakers got to do. My job as a quarterback is just to get the ball in his hands... Chad’s definitely one of the best in this conference or otherwise.”

Hunter certainly proved that he had playmaking ability last season -- he was FAMU’s leading receiver in 2017 with 571 yards and six touchdowns – and it doesn’t look like he’s going to be taking a step back this year.
