long, twitchy Nebraska DB with starter upside if the knee holds up
Hill is a 6-4, 190-pound defensive back who flashed real playmaking juice at Saint Francis in the 2023 season, posting 21 tackles, 6 pass breakups, and 2 interceptions in nine games before transferring to Nebraska. He earned early buzz in Lincoln for his length, range, and ball skills, even pushing into the starting conversation, but his development has been interrupted by knee injuries. Why care? He has the kind of frame and instinct package that can bother quarterbacks—if he stays healthy, he’s the sort of matchup-friendly corner coaches love to bet on.
