4 Kylin Hill Transfer Destinations That Would Have the Upper Hand if He Leaves Mississippi State

Mississippi State running back Kylin Hill has stated that he is willing to sit out his final season in college football without playing a single game of football for Mike Leach, as he claimed he won't play in his home state of Mississippi until the state removes the Confederate flag from their official state banner.

Hill still has one year of eligibility left, and he would likely be declared eligible if he decided to leave Starkville via a transfer. These four schools would finally reach their full potential on offense if they managed to add Hill's combination of size and speed.

4. Miami

Miami is in the market for another running back despite the plethora of top recruits, as DeeJay Dallas will ply his trade with the Seattle Seahawks next season. Leach's Air Raid seems like an odd fit for a running back that has shown he can be the bell cow for a run-heavy offense, while a Miami team that should run the ball more following Dan Enos' firing seems like a natural fit. If Hill wants to squeeze his way into the first round, Miami could provide him with the platform to do so.

3. Tennessee

Tennessee split carries between Ty Chandler and Tim Jordan last season, but the latter half of that duo has been kicked off the team after being arrested on gun and drug charges. Rather than Jim Chaney splitting the load between two backs, a guy like Hill, who ran for 1,350 yards and 10 touchdowns despite awful quarterback play last year, could lead the Volunteers back to SEC contention on the strength of his prowess between the tackles. While the Volunteers went hard after Hill in high school, he might find it difficult to transfer to an SEC school.

2. Nebraska

The Cornhuskers went after Hill in high school, and looked to be one of the frontrunners to secure his commitment before he stayed in-state and joined the Bulldogs. Scott Frost needs an impact transfer to keep Nebraska afloat, as he is struggling to replicate the success he had at UCF. Adding Hill to the same backfield as a mobile quarterback like Adrian Martinez should give the legendary Nebraska ground game the kick in the butt they need to wake up and help the Huskers contend for a Big Ten title.

1. Oregon

Former Fordham head coach and Penn State OC Joe Moorhead couldn't overcome a tidal wave of misfortune at Mississippi State, and he was fired after just two seasons. He landed on his feet, however, as he became the new offensive coordinator at Oregon. Hill had success under Moorhead, and he might just follow him to a Ducks team with eyes on a Pac-12 title once again. Hill and CJ Verdell together in the backfield under a guy in Moorhead who helped Saquon Barkley become the runner he is today sounds too good to be true.
