Coach Hunt on Owen: "He's one of my favorite players in this class. He is truly the definition of what you want a player to be when they come in to a football program. He came in as a freshman, was a scout team player, took that extremely seriously and worked his hardest every day. His sophomore year, he got involved with special teams, took that extremely seriously and then continued to do special teams his junior season and got a little bit of play at wide receiver. And then this year he has become an absolutely pivotal part of our offense. That makes me very happy when kids do it the right way and reap the benefits. He's having a great senior year and I'm happiest for him probably more than anybody. He's the best teammate we have on the team. He'd be the first guy you want in your foxhole and I know if he brings that attitude anywhere he goes, he'll be extremely successful."
