Coach Hunter Vinson
Assistant Coach - Forwards/Fitness
Hunter Vinson grew up moving all over due to his dad's Naval career. After graduating HS, he attended the University of Tennessee, where he earned a roster spot as a defensive back for the football team. Upon graduating college, Hunter started his career working with the Navy, providing fitness and quality of life programs for the sailors.
It was during his time as a FITBOSS onboard the USS Dwight D Eisenhower he discovered the sport of rugby. Joining the IKE command team as a Flanker, he put his tackling skills learned in D1 football to use, playing in various foreign port calls, before joining the D3 Virginia Beach Falcons. After moving to Spain, he played for a local combined military team made up Spanish amd American service members. Upon transitioning back to the DC area, Hunter played with the D3 Riverland Golden Boars, helping them reach a top 12 national ranking before elevating to D2, making the playoffs in the first year as a D2 club.
Hunter has played for the Old Aztecs for 3 years, but due to repetitive shoulder injuries, has been forced to medically retire after 15yrs of playing rugby, mostly as a loose forward or 12. He is looking into coaching and can't wait to help others grow into the sport and see the club move forward.
