Hill appeared in 11 games (five starts) for Miami in 2024, finishing the campaign with 33 tackles, one tackle for loss and one pass deflection. He spent just one year with the Hurricanes after beginning his career at Marshall.
The former class of 2022 recruit excelled as a sophomore with the Thundering Herd in 2023, totaling 55 tackles, one tackle for loss, one interception and 10 pass deflections. Those numbers fueled his jump to the Power Four, which led to his move to Madison.
Hill is a three-star transfer recruit by 247Sports. He is the No. 535 player overall and No. 59 cornerback in the portal.

Hill fills Wisconsin’s important roster need at boundary cornerback after most of its room departed during the winter transfer window, including rising star freshman Xavier Lucas (pending his official departure). With Ricardo Hallman’s NFL draft decision unknown, the Badgers needed to land several impact transfers.
They added Jacksonville State transfer Geimere Latimer on Dec. 24 and now have added Hill. Both project to start immediately for a new-look defensive unit.
Hill is Wisconsin’s 19th transfer commitment overall (18 scholarship players, one walk-on). He may not be the final addition at the position. For more on Wisconsin’s remaining top targets, bookmark our transfer portal offer, visit and commitment tracker.
