MURFREESBORO, North Carolina -- As a junior, Naquandre Hill learned from fellow defensive linemen Carter Roberts and Calvin Pate.
Once they departed, Hill sprouted into a leader on New Bern’s defensive front.
On Thursday, Hill signed to play college football at Division II Chowan. He was joined by parents Nikki Hill and Irving Glenn, along with New Bern football coach Bobby Curlings.
“When Chowan called and wanted me to come check out the campus, I loved it,” Hill said. “It is small and I can meet everybody. You are not just a number in a class. The teachers and professors know you by name.”
Hill will start his college career as a preferred walk-on, with an opportunity to earn a scholarship later
on.
The 5-foot-10 nose guard will be the first person in his family to play sports in college.
