STATESBORO – From walk-on to playmaker, defensive back Tracy Hill Jr.'s journey has been defined by faith and resilience.
After graduating from high school, Hill took an unconventional route by spending a year at Georgia Knights Prep Academy. He competed during the Fall semester, using the experience to grow before joining the Eagles.
"One of my high school coaches suggested I go there – not just for football, but also to improve academically," Hill said. "It really prepared me physically and mentally and helped me grow into my position. My senior year in high school was my first time playing it, so the transition was tough.
