VIDEO: Jaden Hunter honors late father with commitment to Georgia

His father was shot dead in 2004, but the relationships he went on to form with his dad's college teammates have led Jaden Hunter back to Athens.

The four-star outside linebacker in 2017 committed to Georgia on Monday, nearly a quarter-century after his father starred at wide receiver for the Bulldogs.

Hunter's father played at Georgia from 1992-95. He was killed when Jaden was five years old.

Hunter is rated by ESPN as the No. 5 outside linebacker in the 2017 class, and the 111th overall prospect on the ESPN 300.

He attracted offers from several signature programs, including Alabama, Florida State, LSU, and Clemson.
