No. 2 OG talks Big Cat
AUBURN | Trey Hill, the No. 2 offensive guard in the 2018 class, was among the 33 recruits in Auburn Saturday for Big Cat.
Hill, from Houston County in Warner Robbins, Ga., spent the day watching and participating in pie- and watermelon-eating contests, a scavenger hunt and karaoke as part of offensive line coach Herb Hand’s team, Hand’s Hosses.
“It was a pretty good day,” Hill said. “Karaoke with the coaches, it was great. Coach Hand rapped an old-school song and it was great.”
Hill met with Hand and coach Gus Malzahn, and hung out with the other recruits, including close friend and fellow four-star recruit Kearis Jackson.
“The coaches told me the same things, where they want me to play and stuff, and that they have a family vibe here,” Hill said.
Hill and Jackson are close friends and have talked about playing together in college. Jackson is a highly-recruited wideout from Peach County High in Fort Valley, Ga.
Auburn, Georgia, Florida State, Ohio State and Southern Cal are heavily recruiting both, Hill said.
“We have talked about it a couple of times,” Hill said. “But it will just depend on what happens. It’s not in stone.”
Both are scheduled to graduate in December and sign in the early signing period. Hill said he doesn’t have a list of favorites, but Saturday’s visit was beneficial to Auburn.
“It’ll probably bump them up a little bit, but nothing major,” Hill said. “I like the coaching staff, the family vibe, and just being here.”
Hill doesn’t have a timetable for announcing his commitment, only that it would be before the early signing period in December.
Rivals ranks Hill, who is 6-foot-4 and weighs 325 pounds, the No. 8 player in Georgia and No. 53 in the Rivals100.
