I try not to dwell in the past too much, but for me, these people brought happiness to me and I don't want to forget them. We all have busy lives but once in a while it's good to look back and reflect.......
Former Gator player and asst coach Aubrey Hill passes
Only 48 years old - cancer.
Hill’s freshman season coincided with the Gators first official SEC Championship in 1991. He also won an SEC Championship in 1993 and 1994.
In his time on campus Hill developed a reputation as a team leader and clutch receiver. Forty of his first 53 receptions gave the Gators a first down. He ended his career with 86 career receptions and 18 touchdowns. The 4.78 reception/touchdown ratio still was the second-best in school history behind only Wes Chandler (4.18) at the time.
Hill went on to become the wide receiver coach at Florida under head coach Will Muschamp and coached the Gator receivers in 2011 and 2012. Hill returned to his high school Carol City as the head coach for several years and was currently the receiver coach at FIU.
Godspeed, Coach Hill......
