Luckett, Hunter, Parker, Johnson all in camps
MURFREESBORO – Middle Tennessee players Cavellis Luckett, Jaylen Hunter, Jordan Parker, and Darius Johnson have joined Kevin Byard in pursuing their dream of competing in the NFL. Luckett has signed a free agent deal with the Baltimore Ravens, Hunter will be joining the Seattle Seahawks, Parker will head to the Atlanta Falcons, and Johnson will be at the Detroit Lions camp.
As of late Monday, the teams have not sent out official releases on their undrafted free agents.
Luckett, an honorable mention all-conference pick in 2015, played in 25 career games at linebacker for the Blue Raiders. The McComb, MS, native finished with 129 total tackles after transferring from Mississippi Gulf Coast CC.
A transfer from Arizona Western, Hunter earned first team all-conference honors in 2015 after playing and starting in 12 games. The Jacksonville, FL, product was integral in the Blue Raider offense setting single-season records in total offense, scoring and passing yards while helping produce the first 4,000-yard passer and two 1,000-yard receivers in the same season for first time in school history.
Parker, who played in 46 career games, ended his career ranked seventh all-time in 100-yard rushing games. He finished with 2,611 yards on the ground and 17 touchdowns.
Johnson, a permanent team captain in 2015 and a Rotary Lombardi Watch List candidate, played and started in 43 games.
