By Sherri Davis-Viniard Special to The Covington News It wasn’t all that long ago that Houston Texans running back, Akeem Hunt, moved to Newton County, Georgia and enrolled in the third grade at Fairview Elementary School. From there he attended Clements Middle School before graduating as an honor roll student (and star football player) from Newton High School with the Class of 2011. A successful collegiate football career at Purdue University soon followed, which ultimately led to his signing as a rookie free agent with the New York Giants in May 2015.
