NSU Football: Freshman Year Predictions for Norfolk State RB Adrian Hill

Adrian Hill was more than just a pivotal recruiting coup for the NSU.

The No. 1 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Hill will fill a need at a position that was left desolate after offseason departures. But even more importantly, he could be the boost NSU needs to jump back to the top of the MEAC.

Hill was the most touted running back prospect in the nation out of Norfolk Va At the end of his long recruiting process, he chose to stay home and become a Golden Boy rather than joining Nick Saban's squad at Alabama.

Not surprisingly, Cory Ashby and his staff were elated when they finally received the letter of intent from the Under Armour All-American.

Ashby knows exactly what type of player the 5'11 250-pound prospect can be at the next level. With the build of a linebacker, Hill has an elite blend of size and speed that he could ride to becoming a legend in Norfolk,VA

Looking at Hill's skill set, former USC and Ole Miss coach Jack Morris, who is regarded as one of the best recruiters in college football, made the comparison that many others have on signing day.

Morris compared Hill to former Oklahoma Sooners back Adrian Peterson, now perhaps the NFL's best running back.

Peterson was also the No. 1 overall recruit coming out of high school.
