Chadron State College Athletic Hall of Fame
A scatback from Johnstown, Colo., Hill rolled up 3,899 all-purpose yards during four years with the Chadron State football team. He averaged 9.4 yards every time he touched the ball for the Eagles while playing both receiver and tailback. He holds the school records for longest kickoff return for a touchdown (99 yards), longest kickoff return that wasn’t a touchdown (97) and highest career kickoff return average (27.3 on 49 returns).
Hill was explosive. Late in the game at Peru State during his senior season in 1980, he carried a short pass from quarterback Scott Wickard 37 yards for the winning touchdown in a 22-21 victory over the previously unbeaten Bobcats. Hill’s 28-yard average on 23 kickoff returns that season ranked sixth in the nation in NAIA circles. That was a school record until Brandon Harrington averaged 31.3 yards on 13 returns in 2007.
Hill is married to former CSC cheerleader Renea Langer and is the director of the ski patrol and the professional for a golf course at Keystone Resort near Dillon, Colo.
