King of the Hill

Children often dream of being astronauts or cowboys when they are growing up. This was not the case for Mike Hill, the new 49ers Director of Athletics.

Growing up in Clemson, Hill has been exposed to college athletics his whole life.

“I fell in love with college sports. I discovered at an early age that you could actually have a career working in college athletics. I knew I wanted to be, I wanted to work in some capacity in college sports,” Hill said.

Chasing that childhood dream of being an AD, Hill moved from Tiger Town into Chapel Thrill when he attended UNC for college.
