Arkansas running back Rodney Hill says ‘bad agent’ forced him out of Florida State
Published:
Arkansas running back Rodney Hill shared a cautionary tale regarding his exit from Florida State this week.
Hill, who transferred from Florida State to Florida A&M after the 2023 campaign, says his departure from FSU was due to a “bad agent” hired by his parents.
“Not many people know, but my parents were running my money and stuff like that. My parents got a bad agent and he was texting other schools like he was me, so when that got back to the head coach, I had to leave Florida State,” Hill said, via the Fort Smith Southwest Times Record’s Jackson Fuller. “During that time when I had to leave, I wasn’t trying to leave, I didn’t want to leave, so I just had to and the portal was closing up.
“Florida A&M was next door, so I just had to go there for a month, find a new place.”
After FAMU head coach Willie Simmons left for another job, Hill was able to re-enter the transfer portal. After briefly committing to Miami and a quick reunion with the Florida A&M program, Hill landed at Arkansas in April.
He’s expected to compete for carries in a talented Razorbacks backfield that includes Ja’Quinden Jackson and Rashod Dubinion.
Hill likely would have been a significant contributor in Florida State’s 2024 offense had he chosen to stay in Tallahassee. Last season while playing behind Trey Benson, Hill rushed for 190 yards on 50 carries.
A former 3-star prospect, Hill has 3 years of eligibility remaining.
The Hogs will open the 2024 season against Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Aug. 29.
