Former Memphis offensive lineman Xavier Hill is visiting Deion Sanders and Colorado, per reports. 

The three-star LSU transfer earned first-team All-AAC honors in 2023. He helped the Tigers rank sixth in the NCAA in scoring offense (39.4 points), 10th in passing offense (306.5 yards), 14th in total offense (458.5 yards) and 17th in team passing efficiency (154.79) and completion percentage (66.7%). 

Colorado lost six offensive lineman after the 2024 season, including former All-American four-star Tyler Johnson. Sanders and his staff added three via the transfer portal, but will be looking for more depth in the trenches 

Hill has played nearly 2,000 snaps in his career as a two-year starter. Memphis has gone to two straight bowl games during his time with the Tigers. The top AAC team defeated Iowa State in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. One of nine players to start in all 13 games in 2023. They followed that up with a 42-37 rout of West Virginia in the Miami Beach Bowl last year.  

Hill was ranked as the No. 19 guard in the country and the No. 5 overall player in Mississippi by Rivals in 2020. He'll be entering his final year of eligibility. The transfer portal opens April 16 and closes on April 25.
