Early life
Hill was born on July 9, 2000.[1] He attended Pine Forest High School and was a multi-sport athlete, playing football, baseball and basketball.[1] He played quarterback in football and was thrust into a starting role three games into his freshman year, completing 52% of his passes while throwing for 927 yards and six touchdowns.[2] His sophomore season ended prematurely when he suffered a torn ACL.[2]
Hill rebounded as a junior with 17 passing touchdowns and 1,642 passing yards; however, he tore his ACL again in the season finale and that caused him to miss his entire senior year of football, making many recruiters lose interest in him.[2] Hill recovered in time for the basketball season and while playing became noticed by a coach for the Campbell Fighting Camels, a Division I FCS football program.[2] He made the team as a preferred walk-on and transitioned to being a tight end.[3]
College career
As a true freshman at Campbell, Hill played all 11 games.[2] He played 11 games again in the 2019 season, his second, and had six receptions for 85 yards.[4] In the COVID-19-shortened 2020 season, he posted six catches for 102 yards and was selected second-team All-Big South Conference.[5] The following season, Hill led the Big South with 34 receptions for 367 yards and two touchdowns, being named first-team all-conference.[1] In his final season, he earned a third all-conference selection and had 38 catches for 659 yards and five touchdowns.[6] He finished his collegiate career having totaled 85 catches for 1,218 yards and seven touchdowns in 48 games, the last 26 of which he started.[6]
