NEWARK, Del. – University of Delaware cornerback Nijuel Hill has earned an invitation to attend rookie minicamp with the Washington Commanders, becoming the third Blue Hen this spring to receive a minicamp invite. Hill will look to pursue his dream of playing in the NFL this weekend as he looks to earn a contract to attend fall training camp.
Hill will be joined at Washington's rookie minicamp by running back Dejoun Lee, who received an invitation earlier this week. Offensive lineman David Kroll also received a pair of minicamp invites and will be participating in camp with the Chicago Bears this weekend and the Indianapolis Colts next weekend.
An All-CAA Second Team selection in 2021, Hill recorded 30 tackles and 2.0 TFL as a fifth-year senior. H was third on the Blue Hens in the fall with eight passes defended, including a key fourth-quarter interception against Albany. Hill received All-CAA First Team honors and a Second Team All-American in the spring.
Hill appeared in 53 career games, playing in each of Delaware's contests over the final three seasons. He finished with 136 total tackles and seven interceptions while defending 31 passes.
