When Coastal Carolina first joined the FBS in 2017, few imagined the program would be a nationally ranked squad competing in prime time games within its first five seasons. While much of the credit goes to Greyson McCall, Isaiah Likely, and the remaining offensive superstar talent, defensive standouts such as Tarron Jackson, D’Jordan Strong, and Jeffrey Gunter often fly under the radar in their role in elevating Coastal onto the national stage.
Gunter, standing at 6’4” 260 pounds out of the Bandit spot in the Coastal defense, exited his collegiate career as a 3x All Sun Belt nominee, twice being named first team all league at the edge spot.
