Walter Hunter, posthumously inducted, was a graduate of North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University, where he was a four year football letterwinner.  He started each year, playing both offensive and defensive tackle.  He earned All-CIAA honors in 1950, 1951, and 1952.  In 1950, he led his team to a CIAA Football Championship.  The following season (1951), he led the Aggies to a #1 rank in the nation in Black College Football and earned All-American status by the Pittsburgh Courier.  He repeated as an All-American in 1952.  In 1953, he received a letter of interest from the Los Angeles Rams, but was eventually drafted by New York Giants.
