Ohio State Wide Receiver K.J. Hill Staying for Senior Season

Ohio State wide receiver K.J. Hill is staying for his senior season.

He made the announcement via Twitter on Tuesday.

Hill, who was projected to be selected in the middle rounds of the 2019 NFL draft if he declared, said in his statement he consulted with former Ohio State wide receiver Cris Carter in making his decision.

"I have decided to take one last ride with my brothers, my coaches and you, Buckeye Nation!" Hill said. "I'm ready to help lead us to another National Championship."

By staying at Ohio State for his fifth-year senior season, Hill also follows in the footsteps of Parris Campbell, Terry McLaurin and Johnnie Dixon, who were all fifth-year seniors this past year.
