BYU football recruiting: Five underrated 2017 Cougar commits

5 of 5

D’Angelo Gunter, 3-Star Cornerback

Again, three-star players might not come to mind when “underrated” is thrown around. But, Gunter looks like a true lock-down cover corner. He’s got great instincts in coverage and he finds the ball well without committing penalties. Tuiaki raved about Gunter during the Signing Day festivities. Cornerback is typically a need in Provo – it’s tough(er) to sell top-notch athletes on BYU. But, Gunter – along with Troy Warner, Dayan Lake and Chris Wilcox – might help change that.

Gunter immediately reminds me of former Utah cornerback Eric Rowe. Gunter is listed at 6-foot-1 and 175-pounds. When Rowe was coming out of Klein High School in Texas, he was listed at 6-foot-2, 180-pounds. I think Gunter – like Rowe – can be a man coverage nightmare for opposing offenses.
