Status
Hill committed to Penn State in January of 2015, but has certainly taken plenty of visits and remained somewhat open in the recruiting process. The teammate of top Vol WR target Donnie Corley, Hill is expected to visit Knoxville with Corley for the Georgia game on Oct. 9 as he sorts through offers from much of the Big 10, several SEC schools and other programs around the nation.

How He Fits
Speed and instincts are the two things that stick out about Hill in watching his film. Even when it looks like he’s out of of position, he has a great burst to cover enough ground to get back to the ball and either make the interception, break up the pass or at least make the sure tackle on the receiver.
With the potential early departure of Cam Sutton following his junior year, Tennessee continues to evaluate every option at the cornerback position to make sure the secondary is restocked and ready to go in 2016.
