The Arkansas football team is in need of help at the running back position following the departure of sophomore Isaiah Augustave earlier this week, and the Razorbacks are hosting a potential replacement on campus Friday in former Florida State ballcarrier Rodney Hill.
A 5-foot-10, 190-pound Georgia native, Hill was offered by Arkansas when he entered the transfer portal following the conclusion of the 2023-24 season, but he ultimately committed to Florida A&M.
During his two seasons with the Seminoles, Hill combined to rush for 334 yards and two touchdowns on 77 carries (4.34 yards per carry). His career-high came during his freshman campaign, when he carried the ball nine times for 55 yards and a touchdown against Duquesne.
Hill was a three-star prospect out of Bulloch Academy and chose Florida State over offers from programs like Colorado, Kentucky, Michigan State, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Texas A&M and others.
According to Pro Football Focus, Hill finished the 2023-24 season with a 69.3 offensive grade, a 65.9 pass grade, a 83.5 pass block grade, a 68.3 run grade and a 548 run block grade on 109 total snaps.
As things currently stand, Arkansas has 77 scholarship players on its roster and eight remaining spots to use on transfers. Be sure to follow along at The Trough premium message board for updates on the Razorbacks' roster fluctuations this offseason.
