YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University football's Bronson Hill (Grand Rapids, Mich.-Catholic Central) has been invited to the New York Jets rookie mini-camp this weekend.
The five EMU players headed to NFL mini-camps is tied for the third-most in the Mid-American Conference. Other Eagles taking part in workouts this weekend are quarterback Rob Bolden (Orchard Lake, Mich.-Orchard Lake St. Mary's-Penn State-Louisiana State), defensive back Willie Creear (Seattle, Wash.-Lindbergh-Butte JC), defensive back Kevin Johnson (McKeesport, Pa.-McKeesport) and tight end Tyreese Russell (Chicago, Ill.-Walther Lutheran).
Hill's career will go down as one of the best in history for EMU running backs. The Grand Rapids, Mich. native had 2,357 yards on the ground for his career, becoming the first Eagle to rush for over 2,000 yards in a career since Anthony Sherrell in 2003. Hill played in 42 games over the past four years, making 19 starts in the backfield. He boasted 15 career touchdowns (11 rushing, 4 receiving) and 526 receiving yards.
Hill's biggest season was as a junior in 2013, when he rushed for 1,101 yards to average just over the century mark in yards per game, earning All-MAC Third Team honors. Hill has rushed for over 250 yards in a single game twice, including 283 versus Toledo as a sophomore, the second-highest single-game rushing total in EMU history (Oct. 13, 2012). As a sophomore, Hill was the James M. "Bingo" Brown Most Valuable Offensive Player Award for the Green and White.
