ASU commit Christian Hill's unlikely journey

Before starting an interview, Christian Hill says he wants to first thank God for giving him this opportunity.

That's not uncommon.

He adds: "Second, I want to thank the men and women who serve our country to let them know they're not forgotten and that they're still loved."

OK, that is.

Hill is a four-star prospect at Glendale Community College, the No. 1 junior-college strong-side defensive end in the country according to one scouting service. In late May, he committed to Arizona State's 2016 recruiting class, which isn't all that unusual given his recruiting ranking.
