Talk about a coup for Texas and a nightmare for the rest of the Southeastern Conference. Hill, a Denton Ryan alum, has developed into one of college football’s top linebackers in just his second season at Texas. He’s not Lewis, Taylor or Butkus, but he is a central figure on a premier defense that has the No. 3 Longhorns on the verge of a second-straight College Football Playoff berth.“We know it’s going to be a highly-anticipated game,” Hill said, “but we live to play big games.
“I think he can play anywhere ,” Henigan said last week. “I really do. He’s a guy that can defend the pass really well, he’s got great length and always has a knack for making plays. He’s a tremendous blitzer, whether you’re blitzing him up the middle or off the edge. I think he’s just a guy that makes plays.”Hill, believe it or not, would be a Miami Hurricane if it were up to his father.
