2024 prospect Daniel Hill discusses Tennessee offer

2024 prospect Daniel Hill discusses being offered by Tennessee and playing wide receiver or running back in college.

2024 prospect Daniel Hill has received a scholarship offer from Tennessee.

The 6-foot-1, 225-pound Hill is from Meridian High School in Meridian, Mississippi.

Hill has played running back and wide receiver at Meridian. He is open to playing either position in college.

“Right now, I’m split between the two,” Hill told Vols Wire of what position he would prefer to play in college. “Wherever I can get the ball and produce, then I’ll be fine.”

Tennessee is looking at Hill to play running back in college. He discussed his early impression of Tennessee’s running backs coach Jerry Mack.

“I love Coach Mack,” Hill said. “He makes me feel welcomed and I need a coach like that if I’m going to spend my college career at their school.”

Hill’s dad, Demetrius Hill, coaches defensive line at Meridian and played at Mississippi State from 1989-90.

“He has the experience, he’s been in the same situation I’m in now,” Hill said of his father. “He knows the things I have to keep doing to succeed.”

Hill was offered a scholarship by Mississippi State on Oct. 21, 2021.
