Kylin Hill’s production

As a true freshman back in 2017, Kylin Hill did not see the field much, but took advantage when the Bulldog coaching staff gave him an opportunity. On just 78 carries, Hill finished the season with nearly 400 yards rushing and two touchdowns; he averaged five yards per carry as a freshman.

More from With the First Pick

Last year, usurping a large chunk of carries from Williams, Hill averaged a productive six yards per carry from the Mississippi State backfield. On the year, Hill rushed for 734 yards and found the endzone four times on the ground; as a receiver out of the backfield, he added an additional four scores and 176 yards on 22 catches.

Taking another step forward as a junior in 2019, Hill is already up to 1,215 yard rushing, averaging nearly six yards per carry on the year; he has scored ten touchdowns on the ground as well. As a receiver, Hill has added 173 receiving yards and an additional score on just 16 catches out of the backfield.

Showing versatility as a receiver as well as a runner, Kylin Hill has the skill set to be a three down back at the next level; his production in the box score shows this. We will now move on to his traits.
