"I wanna thank my coaches and FSU for bringing me in. Much love to all my teammates and to the strength staff and trainers that have worked with me while I been here but I will be entering the transfer portal."
Hill is a surprising addition to the portal list, as he was expected to have a larger role next season with starting running back Trey Benson expected to turn pro.
He would have likely split time with Cazaiah Holmes and Lawrance Toafili in the backfield.
He becomes the second running back to hit the portal, joining former walk-on CJ Campbell . FSU has freshman Samuel Singleton on the roster and has a pair of running backs in Kam Davis and Micahi Danzy in its 2024 recruiting class .

Hill rushed for 190 yards on 50 carries during the 2023 season and 144 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries last season as a true freshman.
Quarterback Jordan Travis expressed shock with a "surprised" emoji on his X account in reaction to Hill's tweet.
No. 5 FSU returns to practice Tuesday in preparation for the Orange Bowl against No. 6 Georgia Dec. 30.
Entering the transfer portal doesn't disqualify a player from competing in their school's bowl game.
This portal window runs from Dec. 4 to Jan 2. It has gone down from 45 days to 30 days this year.
