During his senior season in 2010, Hill played in seven games and recordedjust one reception for six yards against in-state rival Tulsa.

Hill, who studied acting while attending Oklahoma State University, saidfootball helped prepare him for the mental aspect of being an actor during an interview with a Stillwater-based radio station in 2015.

"It actually has played hand and hand in preparing me for the mental game that Hollywood can be. Athletic and acting are very comparable and it is actually scary and I didn't realize it until coming out here that when it comes to training and how it flows into performing the two are very similar.

"With football you practice every day, watch video, have weightlifting and conditioning and you are preparing throughout the week to perform on Saturday. A scrimmage in football is a lot like an audition in acting. With acting you take classes throughout the week and participate in workshops and then you read for parts and that is like a scrimmage."
