Justice Hill arrives in Fayetteville to be 'more prepared'

Little Rock Christian guard Justice Hill passes the ball during a game against Bentonville on Friday, Dec. 22, 2017, in Bentonville.

— Arkansas signee Justice Hill, a guard from Little Rock who signed in November, has undergone a physical and was scheduled to go through his first practice with the team Thursday as an early enrollee.

Hill, a two-sport standout at Little Rock Christian, was an early graduate after leading the Warriors to a 52-38 upset victory over Pulaski Academy for the Class 5A football title as the quarterback.

“It’s another chapter,” Arkansas Coach Mike Anderson said, noting Hill was his first mid-term early enrollee.

“It’s something he wanted to do and we welcomed him to do it. It can only get him a little bit more prepared.”

As a junior, Hill averaged 19.5 points, 6 assists, 4 steals and 4 rebounds. He was named the Arkansas Football Gatorade Player of the Year in 2018.
