OXFORD, Miss. -- Former Ole Miss Rebels defensive tackle KD Hill is in stable condition after being rushed to the hospital after being involved in a serious car accident in Alabama on Friday. Hill's brother was also reportedly in the vehicle, but thankfully, no fatalities occurred. 

Hill was the recipient of the Chucky Mullins Courage Award in 2022 and donned the No. 38 worn by the late Mullins last fall. Hill has been in the thoughts and prayers of the Ole Miss community this weekend, but unfortunately, the injuries he sustained have likely ended his football career, according to The Rebel Walk.

The Chucky Mullins Award is given annually to an Ole Miss upperclassman defender who embodies the spirit of Mullins with courage, leadership, perseverance and determination. Hill, without a doubt, personified each of those qualities during his five-year career with the Rebels.

Hill stole the heart of Ole Miss fans everywhere last fall when he went viral after calling his mom to let her know he would be wearing the No. 38 his senior year.

While at Ole Miss, Hill registered 58 tackles, four TFLs, one sack, and two pass deflections. The former Rebel was invited to NFL training camp with the New York Jets and recently signed a contract to play for the Orlando Guardians of the XFL.
