Austin Hill missed the entire 2013 season due to a torn ACL suffered during spring camp, but is expected to be healthy in 2014 and pick up right where he left off.

A senior, Hill has been named to the Maxwell Award watch list. The Maxwell Award is given to America’s College Player of the Year.

In 2012, Hill’s last full season, he caught 81 passes for 1,364 yards and 11 touchdowns. He scored two touchdowns in four games and had at least one score in seven, and was a Biletnikoff Award semifinalist, All-Pac-12 Second-Team and Phil Steele Fourth-Team All-American that year.
