Hill was a critical member of the front seven from 2018-2022 and is known to be well-liked by the Rebel faithful and the community of Oxford. He recorded 58 tackles, four tackles four loss, and a sack in his five-year career at Ole Miss and was invited to the New York Jets training camp despite going undrafted in the year’s NFL draft.
There were no fatalities in the crash. It is believed that Hill’s career is over due to injuries sustained.
Hill and his brother are reportedly in stable condition.
