Georgia’s junior offensive lineman Trey Hill has been named to the Outland Trophy watch list.
The trophy is awarded annually to college football’s best interior lineman, named after the 19th century All-American tackle and halfback John H. Outland.
Hill will likely be the centerpiece of the Georgia offensive line in 2020. The Dawgs lost key pieces in the trenches this offseason with the departure of Andrew Thomas, Isaiah Wilson and Solomon Kindley (all NFL draft selections). On top of that, junior tackle Cade Mays transferred to Tennessee after an unusual fallout.
Hill saw time in all 14 games in 2018, starting the final four games at right guard. In 2019 he started at center all 14 games, was named to the AP All-SEC 2nd Team and was the co-winner of the Offensive Most Improved Player award at Georgia’s post-season awards gala.
The 6-foot-4, 330-pound Warner Robbins, GA native allowed only two quarterback pressures last season on 433 pass block snaps.
Hill is projected to be taken in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft following his junior year at UGA.
