Before this season, Albany supporters would probably agree that Adam Hill made the biggest impact on the defensive side. 

After all, that’s where Hill generated the most headlines last year, earning first-team Texas Sports Writers Association honors at defensive end. 

Hill is still a menace at chasing quarterbacks for the No. 1 Lions, but the senior has also seen an increased offensive workload through non-district. Hill’s 825 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns are among the Big Country leaders as Albany has turned to him as the feature back.
