Gamecocks add grad transfer QB Collin Hill from Colorado State
Dec. 28, 2019
New South Carolina offensive coordinator Mike Bobo will have a familiar face in the quarterback room this season. QB Collin Hill announced Saturday he was joining the Gamecocks starting in January. Bobo coached Hill at Colorado State.
“After a lot of prayer and discussion with my family, I have decided to come home and play at the University of South Carolina,” Hill said via Twitter. “I’m excited for what the future holds, and can’t wait to get started in January. SPURS UP!”
Hill (6-5, 215) is a graduate transfer, meaning he’s eligible to play right away at Carolina. He’ll compete beginning in the spring with incumbent Ryan Hilinski, Dakereon Joyner and incoming freshman Luke Doty.
He played in-state at Dorman High School before signing with Colorado State. Hill had 3,362 yards passing in three seasons with the Rams. He had five 300-yard passing games in that time. As a freshman in 2016, He played in five games and started four, completing 75 of 129 passes (58.1%) for 1,096 yards and eight touchdowns with two interceptions before suffering a season-ending knee injury. He redshirted in 2017.
