FORT COLLINS, Colo.—Colorado State head football coach Mike Bobo announced Monday that the school has received a signed financial aid agreement from high school senior Collin Hill. A 6-5, 210-pound quarterback from Dorman High School in Roebuck, S.C., Hill plans to enroll at CSU in January.
Hill, one of five finalists for South Carolina’s Mr. Football, recently completed his senior season playing in the 4A state championship game and the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas in consecutive weekends. In the latter contest, which pits all-stars from North Carolina and South Carolina, Hill earned his state’s Offensive MVP honor by completing 15 of 28 passes for 192 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in Spartanburg.
Hill capped his senior season the previous weekend by throwing for 315 yards and one touchdown while completing 65 percent of his passes, as his Dorman squad came up short against undefeated Fort Dorchester for the 4A title. For the season Hill passed for a school record 3,505 yards and 35 touchdowns with 11 interceptions in leading his team to a record of 11-4. He also rushed for four touchdowns with a long of 27 yards.
As a junior in 2014, Hill set a then-school record with 3,304 passing yards and 31 touchdowns to help lead the Cavaliers to a 10-3 record.
Colorado State will face Nevada Dec. 29 in the inaugural Arizona Bowl in Tucson. Kickoff is set for 5:30 p.m. MT at Arizona Stadium.
