Justin Hill
A Twitter scan and a tip from a reader has yielded the name of the 41st name on our incoming freshmen list.
His name is Justin Hill, a 5-9, 160 -pound speedy all-around athlete from Springfield Township HS in the greater Philadelphia area. Hill played in the same league as fellow incoming freshmen Alex Gibson and Lamine Nouck-A-Nwal. He played a dual threat QB and as a DB last season.
Hill made his commitment late, (or maybe he was offered late), and announced it on March 19th.
Hill would be the first documented Springfield Township grad to come to Columbia football.
Hill made Honorable Mention in the Philadelphia Inquirer's all suburban team.
Apparently, getting the offer from Columbia was a surprise for Hill. After Springfield lost in the playoffs last fall, Hill said he thought that was his last football game ever.

Jake, because of the timing he might have been a regular admit who is going to walk on. At Penn Al was a master at not using football slots for a few regular admits every year who then did not count as football admits.
It'll be interesting to see how many of these 41 are still with the team in, say, 2 seasons, T'was a time, however, when 41 would have been nice-sized incoming complement for freshman football.
In his latest video Al said that we don't have enough depth for the offensive 1s to scrimmage the defensive 2s and vice versa, so a lot of depth would help. (He also said that the defense is ahead of the offense right now because of the new offensive system.)
