"Hunter Carpenter Virginia Tech and North Carolina Phenom"

Last updated 📅 2025-06-23

June 23, 1883 - Louisa County, Virginia - Hunter Carpenter, a Virginia Tech and North Carolina halfback who played college football from 1900 to 1905, was born.

The FootballFoundation.org states that Hunter played for a different coach in each of his six seasons, as he played for Virginia Tech from 1900 to 1903, started at North Carolina in 1904, and returned to Tech in 1905. In that final year he played, Carpenter was named team captain. VT had one of their top seasons ever as they knocked off Army, North Carolina, Virginia and South Carolina, and lost only to Navy 12-6.

That 1905 season, Tech outscored its opponents 305-24, and Carpenter scored 82 points. In five seasons at Virginia Tech, he scored 233 points. The National Football Foundation selected him for entrance into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1957.
