Canton, OH- Class of '25 running back Nino Hill of Canton Mckinley has made a commitment to the University of Buffalo a division I FBS public research school and a member of the Mid-American Conference, according to his announcement via 'X' formally known as Twitter.

Coming to Canton Mckinley from Alliance High School, Hill played on both sides of the ball beginning at linebacker then eventually moving to running back where he made his name and hit most radars in terms of recruiting.

Hill had interest from atleast a dozen schools leading up to his incoming senior year from the likes of Bowling Green, Akron, UMass off hand, his complete list can be found here according to 247Sports.

The 6'0 215 pound back finished his junior year with over a 1,000 yards rushing and 15 TD's over 9 games battling through little nagging injuries but made the most of the production when given the opportunity when his number was called.

The Buffalo running back room is light according to insight into roster with only 4 hard commits coming in, Hill being the only running back, Lamar Sperling who starred for the Archbishop Hoban Knights was a redshirt freshman that appeared in two games with limited touches, two senior running backs are rostered Theo Anderson and Aljay Henderson.

This should take a little pressure off the lofty running back heading into the season now just having to finishing producing and staying healthy like most athletes.
