Kylin Hill says he ‘won’t represent the state’ unless Mississippi flag is changed

One of the SEC’s top returning players is threatening to sit out if changes aren’t made with his state’s official flag.

Mississippi State running back Kylin Hill is arguably the best returning back in the SEC this year. However, Hill says he won’t play another down of football if the state of Mississippi doesn’t change its flag, which includes the Confederate emblem.

Hill led the SEC in rushing last year with 1,350 yards to go with 10 touchdowns. He ran for 120 yards and three touchdowns in the Bulldogs’ win over Kentucky and will be one of the best players the Cats face next season.
