From 1913 to 1916, Hunt's Carleton football teams were undefeated, allowing only three touchdowns and outscoring opponents 1,196 to 20.[2] In 1916, Carleton traveled to Chicago and beat the Chicago Maroons 7–0 in a shocking upset.[3] Coached by Amos Alonzo Stagg, Chicago was a member of the Western Conference at the time.[4]

Hunt was also the head basketball coach at Hillsdale from 1910 to 1913, at Carleton from 1913 to 1917, and at Washington from 1917 to 1919, tallying a career college basketball mark of 69–39.
