Morgan State's Erick Hunter Featured on NFL Network Ahead of HBCU Legacy Bowl

Morgan State
Posted By: Will Moss on February 19, 2026

Morgan State University linebacker Erick Hunter appeared on NFL Network's 'The Insiders' for an exclusive interview as he prepares to showcase his talents at the upcoming HBCU Legacy Bowl.

The interview provides Hunter with a national platform to discuss his collegiate career with the Bears and his aspirations for professional football. The appearance highlights the growing visibility of HBCU athletes as they prepare for one of the sport's premier showcase events designed specifically for players from Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

Key Takeaway: The NFL Network feature underscores the increasing national attention on HBCU football talent and the HBCU Legacy Bowl's role in connecting these athletes with professional opportunities.

The HBCU Legacy Bowl has become an important stepping stone for players from Historically Black Colleges and Universities seeking to enter the NFL. The all-star game provides HBCU athletes with crucial exposure to NFL scouts, coaches, and front office personnel who evaluate talent for the upcoming draft and free agency periods.

Hunter's appearance on 'The Insiders,' one of the NFL Network's flagship programs, represents significant media exposure for both the linebacker and Morgan State's football program.



Such national television appearances help raise the profile of HBCU athletics and demonstrate the caliber of talent being developed at these institutions.

Morgan State University, located in Baltimore, Maryland, competes in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) and has a proud football tradition. The Bears program has produced numerous professional players over the decades, and Hunter joins that legacy as he pursues his NFL dreams.

The interview comes at a critical time for Hunter as he prepares to compete against and alongside other top HBCU players in front of NFL decision-makers. The Legacy Bowl has successfully helped numerous HBCU athletes transition to professional football since its inception, providing a dedicated platform that ensures scouts specifically focus on talent from these institutions.

For Morgan State fans and the broader HBCU community, Hunter's NFL Network appearance represents another moment of pride and recognition for the excellence being cultivated at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The visibility helps reinforce the message that elite football talent thrives across all levels of collegiate competition.
