Not in this neck of the woods. We wear the T-shirts, the jerseys, and the caps. We show up in the stands or cheer them on from home. We support their players and scowl at their rivals. But nobody knows more than Fayetteville\u2019s own Gus Hill just how important wearing Tennessee orange is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprisingly, Hill grew up cheering on Auburn \u2014 no Tennessee orange in sight. But now, as part of the University of Tennessee Knoxville\u2019s (UT Knoxville) offensive line, Hill has (most of) his family and friends changing their tone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI visited UT Knoxville, and it just felt like home,\u201d Hill said. \u201cSince Tennesee is obviously my home state team, I always see friends who come up to the games and get pictures with me, which is something that\u2019s really fun.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hill started playing sports when he was a young kid.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was just like the family thing to do,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting in the Junior Pro League, his first coach, Dr. Michael Shane Trahin, was the one to make him fall in love with football.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/1-5-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20216\" width=\"826\" height=\"550\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photos submitted by Gus Hill. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI just loved hitting people,\u201d he nonchalantly said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hill said he was initially a better baseball player. He transferred from Riverside Christian Schools, where he played baseball, basketball, and football, to Fayetteville High School before his freshman year. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL while playing football and was forced to skip his&nbsp;freshman baseball season. During his sophomore year, he visited Auburn University and checked out their football program.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter that, it was just kind of, \u2018Hey, I\u2019m pretty good at this. Let\u2019s be serious about it and stop playing other sports and just focus on football,\u2019\u201d Hill said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He went on to help the Fayetteville Tigers take home their first state championship in 2020, which he said: \u201cNo one expected us to do.\u201d He also got to play under Rusty McIntrye, an offensive line coach at the time, who Hill credits for teaching him the fundamentals of the offensive line. During Hill\u2019s senior year, he was selected to play all-state and was actively being recruited by a couple of Division 1 schools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOut of nowhere, the Tennessee coach hit me up, and I went to a couple of games,\u201d he said. \u201cThey offered me a preferred walk-on position.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever since then, it\u2019s been nonstop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCollegiate [football] is a full-time sport,\u201d Hill said. \u201cI mean, it\u2019s nonstop, constantly doing stuff. I think that the biggest difference is just always going and like the intensity of everything. It\u2019s next level.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hill estimated that players get about five weeks off throughout the year, but going from high school to college isn\u2019t for the faint of heart. In the beginning, he struggled with how big all the players (both on his team and his opponent\u2019s) were and how fast everything and everyone moved.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/4-2-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/4-2-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/4-2-980x653.png 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/4-2-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photos submitted by Gus Hill. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s so fast-paced,\u201d he said. \u201cBut you just either get the hang of it or you don\u2019t. And I got the hang of it, luckily.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Balancing his time hasn\u2019t been easy. Most days, Hill wakes up and is working out by 6 a.m. He stays at the training facility until 11 a.m.-12 p.m., then goes to class for three or four hours, then heads back to the facility to eat dinner and have meetings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt depends on the part of the year, but I only get, on average, about five hours a day that is my time, if that. That\u2019s one thing that\u2019s just really, really hard.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When he\u2019s not training or at a game, Hill is working toward his finance degree \u2014 following in the footsteps of his uncles and grandfather. \u201cAs far as a dream job or career path, I haven\u2019t really figured that part out yet,\u201d he said. But just wrapping up his first year at UT Knoxville, he still has time. And even if he didn\u2019t, Hill\u2019s learned to be quick on his feet \u2014 literally and figuratively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Playing football for this many years has allowed him to hone his decision-making skills, as athletes often have to make split-second decisions that affect not only themselves but also their teammates. But that\u2019s only one of the many lessons football has taught him. Hill\u2019s advice for younger athletes is: \u2018Put in the work.\u2019&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDo your own work outside of summer workouts and outside of practice,\u201d he said. \u201cGet in the weight room, go out on the field, run \u2014 just work harder to become better than the person you\u2019re playing against. Doing a little more and a little better in your position is something that can change your life tremendously.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And not only on the field but in the classroom as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/3-4-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/3-4-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/3-4-980x653.png 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/fayetteville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/3-4-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photos submitted by Gus Hill  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLearning to study and try in high school and middle school is something I wish I [had done] more of,\u201d Hill said. \u201cBecause now I\u2019m in college, and learning how to study and be good in school is something that\u2019s been pretty challenging.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While many of these lessons don\u2019t come easy, he\u2019s had a few people by his side to help. Along with friends, teammates, and coaches, Hill\u2019s family has been extremely supportive by \u201cnot only coming to the games but making sure I\u2019m taken care of mentally,\u201d he said. His strength coach, Rhett Brooks, stands out to him.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s someone that just keeps pushing me and wants me to be my best right now,\u201d Hill said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being his best doesn\u2019t only mean rising through the ranks on the team and beating his opponents. Through his years in football, he\u2019s learned how to form meaningful connections with people different from him \u2014 debatably the most impactful lesson of all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve learned to become friends with everybody and anybody,\u201d Hill said. \u201cI\u2019ve played with people from every race, demographic, background, and culture. Especially in college, you play with people from across the nation who have completely different lives than you. You have to learn to love them and respect them.
