First, a couple of notes of sad news:
The University of Alabama announced via social media Tuesday that former offensive lineman Grant Hill has passed away. Hill, who lettered for the Crimson Tide from 2013-14, was 26.
“Grant Hill was a wonderful teammate and friend,” UA said in a tweet on its official account. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends during this devastating time.”
Further details regarding Hill’s death were not immediately available.
Hill was one of the early top recruits in the Saban era, and medical issues kept him from ever being a contributor.
