Jaden Hunter and Western Kentucky got some great news this week as the linebacker’s waiver to play immediately this season has been approved.

Hunter, a former Georgia linebacker, left Athens this offseason following after being arrested for driving with a suspended or revoked license. He appeared in four games for the Bulldogs last fall.

After deciding to continue his career at Western Kentucky, Hunter applied for a waiver to play immediately in 2019. That waiver was granted this week, the linebacker announced on Tuesday. Western Kentucky has also confirmed the news.

This could be good news for a few SEC fan bases as several league teams continue to wait for resolutions for players’ waiver requests.

Hunter was ranked as a four-star prospect and the nation’s No. 9 outside linebacker out of Westlake High School in the 2017 recruiting cycle. Hunter is originally from Atlanta.
