Wyoming running back Brian Hill will enter the 2017 NFL Draft, per source.
Ranking fourth in the nation in rushing yards (1,860) and touchdowns (22), Hill has been the go-to weapon for the Mountain West’s top scoring offense.
After sitting out the first quarter of the team's bowl game against BYU, Hill finished with 93 yards on 26 carries and a touchdown in a loss to Houston; his final collegiate game.

Hill boasts superb vision and hits the hole out of a cannon when he sees green. With the ability to get skinny through the line, Hill shows the quickness to bust loose but also the power to shake off tacklers in traffic and in space. His power in between the tackles is impressive, and so is his elusiveness in space.
Hill enters what looks to be one of the best running back classes in recent history, but he has the production and explosiveness to be successful in the right situation in the NFL.
Optimum Scouting currently projects Hill as a third- or fourth-round draft choice.
