Mississippi State RB Kylin Hill named to Associated Press All-SEC first team

STARKVILLE – Kylin Hill is being rewarded for his stellar season. 

Last week, the junior running back from Columbus won the Conerly Trophy as the state of Mississippi's best college player. This week, it's national recognition. Hill was named to the Associated Press All-SEC first team on Monday. 

Hill ran for 1,347 yards and 10 touchdowns this season. He needs 45 yards in the Music City Bowl to break Mississippi State's all-time record for most rushing yards in a single season.
