Trey Hill Primed for a Big Season for Georgia Football
Trey Hill was 2nd team All-SEC a year ago for the Georgia Bulldogs, and if they are going to have any success in 2020 on a national level, they are going to need their only returning starter to play at an even higher level this fall.
Hill started the final four games on the 2018 season as a true freshman and played in all 14 games. He was one of four players to win offensive newcomer of the year award and following LaMont Gaillard's departure, Hill made the natural transition to center in 2019.

It could very likely be Hill's final season in Athens as well. The former 4-star prospect has received 2021 NFL Mock Draft grades as high at 63rd overall. He's the highest-rated center on WalterFootball.com's 2021 rankings, and he
