As we look ahead to the future in these uncertain times, just about the only thing still running in sports is the recruiting world. Albeit not the same without in-person interaction, recruiting never sleeps. 2021 Wisconsin commit Deacon Pe’a Hill is not only an exciting pro-style quarterback commit for the Badgers, but has also been helpful in recruiting fellow 2021 Badger prospects. BadgersWire caught up with the Santa Barbara native to see how he was holding up in quarantine and to give fans an idea of who he is as a player:
BadgersWire: What makes you most excited about being a Badger?
Pe’a Hill: What makes me most excited is being able to join that family and being surrounded by guys who wanna push each other to be the best.
BadgersWire: How would you describe yourself as a player?
Pe’a Hill: As a player I would describe myself as very dedicated and a hard worker. I also hate to lose. I hate losing more than I like winning. I’ll do everything I can to win.
BadgersWire: Any fellow Wisconsin commits in your class that you have become close with/talked to?
Pe’a Hill: We’ve all have been getting a lot closer. There’s a couple who haven’t committed yet but we are all still close. We did a zoom call the other night so we could “hang out” in a way. It’s like Bryan Sanborn, Riley Mahlman, Jake Chaney, Hunter Wohler, Darryl Peterson, and TJ Bollers.
BadgersWire: How have you been staying sane in quarantine?
Pe’a Hill: I’ve been staying sane by just getting as much work in as I can. And Xbox helps a lot. I play with my friends so that keeps me sane. I’ve mostly been playing Rainbow 6, Madden 20, and Call of Duty.
Deacon has pinned this tweet to the top of his Twitter feed, so you can tell he is super excited to play for Wisconsin.
