Eufaula native KD Hill is a ferocious presence at nose tackle for Ole Miss, but the work he does off the field is every bit as meaningful as witnessed by
The award honors the late Mullins, a defensive back who had his Ole Miss career come to an end during the 1989 game against Vanderbilt when he was paralyzed after making a tackle. After returning to his studies at Ole Miss, Mullins passed away May 6, 1991.
“Growing up, I never saw anyone come see me or anything, so I said, ‘Why not do this for the kids of Oxford while I’m here right now as I’m playing college football to show them that they mean a lot to me’ because I’m able to manage that as well as school and football during the season. “I actually have something coming up this Thursday … I’m going to the Boys & Girls Club,” Hill said. “I’m going to provide food and drinks. I’ll fellowship with them, eat pizza and tell them my testimony and let them know they can be something and do anything they want to do in life.
Hill has appeared 34 career games for Ole Miss, including 10 starts at nose tackle last season. The two-year starter for the Rebels registered 24 total tackles last season, including two tackles for loss. While Hill is still taking some graduate classes, having the college degree in hand has given him more time to prepare for the upcoming season. The Rebels host Troy in the opener on Saturday at 3 p.m. in a game to be televised by the SEC Network.
“I don’t see no offense better or faster than our offense in the nation,” Hill said. “What I see every day truly helps me in the game. The game goes by so much slower. I get out there on the field and I don’t even get tired.
