What happened: An FHSAA investigation found Hill participated with Miami Carol City before enrolling and lived with a representative of its athletic program, according to [USA TODAY's Alex Martin](https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/four-star-nebraska-football-commit-173807155.html). Investigators also found someone without legal authority signed his eligibility paperwork.

Why it matters: The ruling bars Hill from competing at any FHSAA member school, preventing a transfer within the association from restoring his eligibility. The cornerback committed June 16 for the 2027 recruiting cycle.

By the numbers: Hill began practicing in mid-July but officially enrolled August 13, a gap of roughly a month.

What to watch: Watch for an appeal of the eligibility ruling and any change to Hill's college commitment.
