young Citadel QB with a clean slate and development upside
Xavier Hill is a 5-foot-10, 190-pound redshirt freshman quarterback for The Citadel, wearing No. 12 and entering the 2026 season with limited public game production but clear developmental intrigue.[1][2] The appeal is his fresh-start profile: he brings QB depth, still has eligibility runway, and fits a program that values toughness and command over flash. For a team, he looks like a long-term project rather than an immediate stat-sheet popper—worth tracking if you want a mobile, under-the-radar quarterback with upside and room to grow.[1][3]
