UNA & THE HARLON HILL TROPHY

Return to Lions Football Homepage >>>

  

1995 Winner -- Ronald McKinnon 2003 Winner -- Will Hall

Ronald McKinnon became the first defensive player in the 10-year history of the award to claim the Hill Trophy.
 
Ronald McKinnon's 188 total points in the 1995 voting was the second highest point total in the award's history, second only to Chris Hatcher's 209 points in 1994. 

Ronald McKinnon's Hill victory in 1995  gave the Gulf South Conference its second straight Hill Trophy winner, following Valdosta State's Chris Hatcher in 1994

Will Hall became the second UNA player to win the Harlon Hill Trophy, after leading the Lions to the National Semi-Finals and a 13-1 record.
 
Hall completed a remarkable 71.8 percent of his passes this season while throwing for 3,531 yards and 30 touchdowns.  He also rushed for 467 yards and five touchdowns on 154 carries. 

He directed one of the biggest turnarounds in Division II history, taking the Lions from 4-7 last season to 13 wins and a Gulf South Conference title in 2003.
