OXFORD, Miss. — Former Ole Miss defensive lineman and Chucky Mullins Courage Award Winner KD Hill is in stable condition in an Alabama hospital after being involved in a car accident in Alabama early Friday. His brother was also in the car with him, but thankfully there were no fatalities.
The Rebel Walk messaged with KD’s mother Sunday evening and she updated us on both him and his brother. “KD and his brother are doing great! Thank you all for checking on my son,” Ms. Williams texted.

Hill was the 2022 recipient of the Chucky Mullins Courage Award and wore the accompanying No. 38. He had been invited to training camp with the New York Jets and had recently signed with the Orlando Guardians of the XFL.

The Rebel Walk has been told Hill’s injuries are likely career-ending, but he is in good spirits.
Hill redshirted his freshman year with the Rebels and then went on to play in 45 games, tallying 56 tackles, four tackles for loss, and one sack.
In 2022, when Hill was honored with the Chucky Mullins Courage Award, he made his mark on Rebel fans everywhere with the phone call to his mother letting her know he had won the award given annually to an upperclassman defensive player who embodies the spirit and courage of the late Mullins.
