Show Notes
This edition of the Life of Fitz podcast features host Tim Fitzgerald calling former Kansas State tight end Thomas Hill in the Phoenix area. Hill came out of Nathan Hale High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as a 6-foot-4, 240-pound tight end who was filled with athletic talent and was short on actual playing experience. Still, Hill earned a scholarship offer from Kansas State coach Bill Snyder after his senior season in 1998 and even after new Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops sat on his family’s couch and offered to make him part of the rebuilding of the Sooners’ tradition, Hill stuck with the Wildcats. And during his four seasons on the field, Hill was an ideal fit for Snyder’s offense at the time. He could both block and get downfield as a receiver. After a brief flirtation with the NFL, Hill settled into private life, landing in the Phoenix area where he discovered that he had the spirit of an entrepreneur.
