Wisconsin Football: Badgers 2025 RB Target Nino Hill to Visit Campus

Running backs coach Devon Spalding, and the Wisconsin football program have been keeping a close eye on 2025 tailback Nino Hill out of Canton, Ohio, for a while now. And after his impressive performance at the Badgers team camp in June, where he won MVP honors, he’s put himself in the mix for a closer look. 

“They are recruiting me really hard right now, and hopefully, one day, I could be a Badger,” Hill said. “That’s one of my dream schools.”

After taking an unofficial visit after the June camp, the 6-foot 215-pound unranked junior running back wasted little time planning a return trip to campus.

Things between Wisconsin football and Nino Hill are heading in the right direction because the 2025 prospect announced on Twitter that he’s returning to Madison on July 29.

As a sophomore at McKinley High School, Hill carried the ball 144 times for 1,100 yards and 16 touchdowns in eight games on varsity en route to second-team All-Federal League honors. 

Right now, Hill holds scholarship offers from Akron, Massachusetts, Miami (OH), and Toledo. But he’s also received camp invites from Uconn and West Virginia. 

To me, Hill looks like someone that could blow up in the next calendar year. He’s got great size, appears to be a patient runner on film, has contact balance and better speed than you’d expect for being a bigger tailback.

With the Badgers set at tailback in the 2024 recruiting class after landing Darrion Dupree, Dilin Jones, and Gideon Ituka — all eyes turn to the 2025 cycle.

Hill is an intriguing talent to monitor on the Wisconsin football recruiting front this season because of his talent and their mutual interest. It will be interesting to see if he leaves with an offer in hand.
