SOCCER SAVANT

Senior soccer captain Knobel Hunt details his recruitment by SMU, the same team his father played for, and how he envisions the next four years of his soccer career playing out.

I’m blessed that I went to the [college] ID camps when I did because I had no idea COVID would hit and camps would be canceled the summer after my junior year.

TAKEDOWN 2.0 Oakridge’s goalie once again has his ankles broken by Hunt. COMMITTED A member of an FC Dallas club team, Hunt will keep the same colors — red, white and blue.

To be going to the same place my dad did is amazing – he played on the soccer team at St. Mark’s too, actually – but I’m also extremely excited to carve my own legacy and go in the direction of whatever’s best for me. I’m honored that I’m going to be there, following in his footsteps, but I understand that nothing related to legacy earns playing time on the field. I’m going to have to work my hardest to earn that playing time and prove myself, prove why I deserve that spot on the roster.
