Trevon Hill

Defensive End / Miami, FL

Ed Hunt:  Tell me about this Senior Bowl experience. 

Trevon Hill:  It is a good experience.  It is an honor to be here.  I am out here with the top guys in the nation.  I am the only one from my school out here.  It is a blessing.        

Ed Hunt:  How are you feeling going into your first practice here in Mobile?

Trevon Hill:  Feeling good.  Feeling ready to get out here and compete.

Ed Hunt:  How did you wind up at Miami?

Trevon Hill:  I had a situation at Virginia Tech that I really don’t want to get into.  I ended up transferring to Miami.  I played my role very well.  I took advantage of every snap that I had.  Now I am here.    

Ed Hunt:  What was it like playing for your former defensive coordinator Bud Foster at Virginia Tech?

Trevon Hill:  He instilled that lunch-pail mentality in his players.  I carry that mentality with me every day.  I carried that mentality from Blacksburg to Miami.  I still talk to coach Foster to this day.  He taught me so many things about football and life situations.  No other coach could have done that.         

Ed Hunt:  What is the biggest thing you’ve learned from your coaches at Miami?

Trevon Hill:  I just took advantage of every snap that I had.  Being at Miami really humbled me after coming from Virginia Tech.  Being a starter there and coming to Miami and being a role player.  But just taking advantage of every snap I get here.

Ed Hunt:  What is your best position fit?

Trevon Hill:  Defensive end.  I think I’m a tenacious pass rusher with a high motor and I get around the edge, crazy bend.  There’s not a lot of tackles here that can block me.

Ed Hunt:  What are your biggest strengths?

Trevon Hill:  Speed, agility and athleticism.  I am a guy that uses his hands pretty well.  I will never quit on any play. 

Ed Hunt:  What areas of your game are you trying to improve upon?

Trevon Hill:  My vision.  Sometimes, I use body to body rush.  Once I improve that, I can be a dominant pass rusher.    

Ed Hunt:  Are you working on any new moves between now and the draft?

Trevon Hill: Yeah, but I ain’t going to give my sauce away.

Ed Hunt:  What do you want to show the NFL teams the most?

Trevon Hill:  That I’m competitive and I can really play with the best of the best.

Ed Hunt:  What was the highlight of your career?

Trevon Hill:  When we played Tennessee in a bowl game.  It was an amazing experience.  We played in front of a large crowd.  We didn’t win this game, but it was exciting. 

Ed Hunt:  Who was the toughest OL to go up against in college?

Trevon Hill:  I have to give a shoutout to Christian Darrisaw from Virginia Tech.  He worked his tail off.  I saw an article yesterday that he is the top CC lineman coming back. 

Ed Hunt:  What one word best describes you?

Trevon Hill:  Worker.
