From draft tracker:

Quote:Draft Scouting Report:

Rating: 67.82 (Role player)

Pro Comparison: Trevon Young

Strengths:

Gunter followed up an 8-sack season in '20 with 6 more in '21. He ran a 4.7 40 at the combine and showed off a vertical of 35.5 inches, and those physical attributes translated to the field. He's a high-motor player who has the athleticism to avoid running back cut blocks and get to the quarterback. He also has the power to bull rush offensive tackles off their feet altogether and collapse the pocket. He will consistently disengage from blocks, can get lateral and then run down a quarterback either rolling out or scrambling. In the run game, he'll set the edge with purpose.

Weaknesses:

He can look stiff at times when rushing the passer, and while he shows twitchiness, he's not particularly bendy. He doesn't yet have much variety in his pass-rush arsenal, and he'll occasionally get run out of the play vs. run.

Accolades:

2020: All-Sun Belt first yeam
2020: Led FBS with six forced fumbles
