2005 Season
Named the team's Most Dependable Tight End, Hill lived up to that honor by starting ten contests … Ranked sixth on the team with fifteen receptions for 140 yards (9.3 avg) and a touchdown … Also recovered an onside kick for a 3-yard return vs. Boston College … Set the school game-record for tight ends with eight knockdown blocks vs. Florida State, as he also caught his first career touchdown pass, good for 4 yards … Had a season-high four catches for 60 yards vs. Wake Forest.

I started wondering if anybody asked Mario Williams about this guy. I'm sure they battled in practices and he'd have some insight about Hill's character.

On that same note, I have to believe that DeMeco Ryans and Antoine Caldwell faced off in those Bama practices more than once. It makes sense to go back to the well if you need water, right?
