Green Bay Blizzard News Release
Green Bay, WI - The Green Bay Blizzard are proud to announce that explosive Cornerback/ Kick Returner B.J Hill has been re-signed for the 2013 IFL season.
Hill returns to the Blizzard after coming off a spectacular 2012 season in which he amassed 62 tackles, nine interceptions (one for a TD) and forced five fumbles. As a 13 game starter the Blizzard's top kick returner also amassed 695 kick return yards, four touchdowns, and averaged a league-high 23.2 yards per kickoff. For the 2012 season Hill was named Second Team All-IFL Defensive Back. It was his third consecutive season of being named to one of the IFL's All-IFL teams.
"BJ is one of the best football players I've ever coached and is a true professional" said Blizzard Head Coach Robert Fuller. "BJ has altered the course of more games during his time in Green Bay as a defensive back and kick returner than any player I have seen. We are lucky to have him in a Blizzard uniform and we certainly hope to see him get an opportunity to make an impact on a CFL or NFL roster soon."
Going into his fourth season, Hill is the Blizzard's all-time career leader in interceptions (20), tackles (200), kickoff return yards (2371). He has made his place in the IFL record books as well. He is tied for the most kickoff return touchdowns in IFL history with 11 and is the career leader in kickoff return average as he averages 21.3 yards per kickoff.
Hill began his IFL career with the Blizzard in 2010 and quickly cemented his position as one of the best in the league. That season he accounted for 1,028 kickoff return yards and three touchdowns and was named Second Team All-IFL Kick Returner. His playmaking ability has been consistent throughout his time in Green Bay as he was also awarded First Team All-IFL honors as a kick returner in 2011.
Before joining the Blizzard the Lanham, Maryland native was a four-year starter at Ball State University.
