Missouri Western's Hill Shines In All-Star Classic
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Michael Hill received a surprise invitation to the first Raycom College Football All-Star Classic, but looked like he belonged.
Hill rushed for 148 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries to lead the Stripes to a 31-3 victory over the Stars six days after getting the phone call that a spot had come available.
"You never know what to expect coming from Division II," said Hill said. "You hear about the SEC and all that speed.
"I thought I could come compete and play with speed, too. I didn't know what to expect. I guess I fit in."
He did indeed, flashing speed, moves and big-play ability in a game that featured 22 players from the Southeastern Conference.
Hill was chosen offensive MVP by NFL scouts and had runs of 44 and 49 yards for two of the game's biggest plays, both setting up his touchdowns.
