Early years
Buffalo Hunter was born in Glendale Arizona, to parents Donald and Ivanka Hunter in 2021. When he was five years old, his parents divorced and when his mother became addicted to opioids, he was sent to live with his Grandparents in Virginia. It wasn't a great start in life for Buffalo, but he was determined to make a better life for himself, then his parents had shown him. He worked hard to improve his life by studying hard and working out to improve both his physique and mental health. The work paid off and he attracted several letters of interest from Colleges across the country, eventually opting for the Naval Academy.
College career
After working hard throughout his High School years, Buffalo earned a scholarship to the Naval Academy where he played football for the Midshipmen. Under head coach Ken Niumtalolo he was named to the AAC Freshman team after playing in 10 games and amassing 80 receptions, 977 yards and scoring 12 TD's. That would be his best season while at NAVY but he always contributed and graduated in 2020. No Pro scout would name Jake as a standout prospect, but more of a solid player that can contribute across the board in several categories. He seems to be more of a posession receiver but with decent speed and hands, he is still able to achieve separation from the defenders to find himself open as a QB target.

Professional career
DSFL career
Buffalo declared himself available for the DSFL on March 1, 2042 and has begun to train alongside the other new prospects, hoping to impress scouts in the short window before the DSFL Draft is due to take place. He hopes to be able to go to a DSFL team that will allow him to develop and reach his best potential before being drafted by an ISFL Franchise. He is aware that there are many quality prospects available for DSFL teams to choose from, so he fully intends to do whatever necessary in order to make the teams take notice of his potential. His management team has a long history in sports leagues, so he is hoping that their experience will assist him to find the right fit, for both himself and the team.
