Cameron Hunt (born December 17, 1994) is an American football guard for the Arlington Renegades of the United Football League (UFL). He played college football at Oregon.[1]
Hunt attended Centennial High School in Corona, California, where he played varsity baseball and football. He played both as an offensive and defensive lineman.[2] He was described as "the best offensive lineman" ever at his high school, and was named the a USA Today 2nd team All-American and Los Angeles Times Lineman of the Year for his senior 2012 season, when he helped lead his team to a 14–2 record and a playoff berth.[3] [4] Hunt initially committed to California on July 8, 2012, but switched his commitment to Oregon on February 6, 2013, choosing the Ducks over California, Oregon State, UCLA, Michigan, and Nebraska.
Hunt started the last seven games of Oregon's 2013 season, becoming the team's first true freshman starter on the offensive line since 1997, although he had some playing time in all 13 games. He debuted at the right tackle position against Washington State, but switched to right guard for the rest of the season.[5]
