Howard’s Massive, Experienced Anchor at Left Guard
Samuel Xavier Hill is a 6-foot-3, 345-pound veteran offensive lineman for Howard who returned in 2025 after appearing in eight games in 2024, including his Bison debut at Rutgers. His value is the stuff coaches love: size, experience, and stability on the interior, plus enough positional continuity to help set the tone for Howard’s run game and pass protection. He’s not a stats-driven headline machine—he’s an OL—but his frame and game experience make him the kind of plug-in blocker that can quietly upgrade a front five.
