2009 Outlook
Tight end Ryan Hill emerged as a contributor on the Nebraska offense during his redshirt freshman campaign in 2008. The 6-3, 250-pound Hill was utilized as a third tight end behind Mike McNeill and Dreu Young and provided the Huskers with another receiving threat at the spot. This fall, Hill will look to continue to build a role at one of the deepest positions in the Nebraska offense. The Colorado native has the size to be a solid blocker, while also maintaining the athleticism to be a receiving threat.

2008 (Freshman)
Hill saw action in all 13 games and finished the year with three receptions for nine yards. He had two catches for three yards against Missouri, then hauled in a six-yard touchdown catch to open the scoring against Baylor. Hill was one of 13 Huskers named to the first-team academic all-conference squad in 2008.

2007 (Redshirt)
Hill redshirted and worked on the scout team in his first season in Lincoln.

Before Nebraska (Arvada West HS)
Hill was a versatile player for Coach Casey Coons at Arvada West High School. Hill produced big numbers from his tight end position in his final two seasons, while also serving as the team's punter. Hill was often split out wide as a senior and caught 42 passes for 924 yards with seven touchdown grabs. He posted similar numbers as a junior, hauling in 44 passes for nearly 900 yards and an impressive 15 touchdowns, helping his team to a 10-3 record and a state semifinal appearance.

Hill was honored for his efforts at tight end, as he was named all-conference both his junior and senior years and was an all-state pick as a senior. In addition to excelling at the tight end position, Hill averaged 42.8 yards per punt as a senior and was an All-Colorado selection as a punter.

Hill was ranked among the top 10 tight ends in the country by SuperPrep Magazine, and was named one of the 15 best prospects in Colorado by Rivals.com. His athletic accomplishments were not limited to the gridiron. He was a standout on the baseball team as a pitcher and third baseman. Hill was one of Nebraska's first commitments in the 2007 class, and did not take any additional visits.
