As a junior, Torii Hunter Jr caught 28 passes for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and scored two touchdowns. If you are a baseball fan, you probably recognize the name Torii Hunter. He was a five time All-Star and nine time Golden Glove winner who played the majority of his career with the Minnesota Twins and then the Los Angeles Angels.
It probably won’t come as a surprise that Torii Hunter Jr might end up following in his fathers footsteps as a professional baseball player. On Saturday, Hunter Jr (a 23rd round draft pick) signed his contract with the Angels.
