He started the first 10 games of the 2018 season for Maryland before suffering an ACL injury in his left knee. The 6-foot-2, 234-pound signal-caller appeared in three games, starting two contests, in 2017 as a freshman. Hill’s freshman season ended due to a torn ACL in his right knee.

In 13 career games, Hill has thrown for 1,313 yards, 11 touchdowns, while going 102-for-191. He totaled 45 rushing yards and scored one touchdown in 52 attempts at Maryland.

During his time at Tennessee, Hill was an integral member of the Vols’ scout team. He had to sit out the 2019 season due to NCAA transfer rules.
