In 2023, Hill was limited to only one game with the Illini after suffering a torn ACL. In 2024, the safety again did not play in a game. He will have two years of eligibility remaining for the Panthers.

Standing at 6'2," 205 pounds, Hill will come in with an opportunity to start right away with the departures of both Jojo Evans and C.J. Christian in the secondary.
