Description

Rodney Hill enters his second season with the Gators after joining the program in the role of Director of Player Athletic Development ahead of the 2024 season.

Hill arrives to Gainesville after spending the last two seasons at Arkansas (2023) and Duke (2022) in the position of assistant director of sports performance, working primarily with the football program.

Prior to Duke, Hill was at LSU in 2021 as the assistant strength and conditioning coach for football. While in Baton Rouge, Hill oversaw the Tigers’ lifting, running, and mobility training programs, specifically for the offensive line and tight ends groups. He also used velocity-based training systems (perch), global positioning systems and heart rate monitor (polar) technologies to collect, monitor, and report findings in athlete training and help monitor the athlete’s physiological and mechanical outputs.

Rodney is most importantly a guy I consider a good friend so let’s give him a warm welcome to the Pig Pen!
