Gregory Lamonte' Hill (born February 23, 1972 in Dallas, Texas) is a former professional American football running back who played in the National Football League from 1994 to 1999.
Hill attended David W. Carter High School in Dallas, Texas, where he was a highly recruited running back and was named to all-district, all-Texas, and All-America teams after rushing for 1,122 yards and 14 touchdowns as a senior in 1989. He had transferred from Bishop Dunne Catholic School prior to his senior year.
He starred collegiately at Texas A&M, where in 1991 he made an immediate impact in the first game of his freshman year by rushing for 212 yards (which is still an NCAA freshman debut record) in a 45-7 Aggie thrashing of LSU. He would go on to set the A&M freshman rushing record that year at 1,216 yards.
His best season came during his sophomore season in 1992, when The Sporting News named him a second-team All-American running back after he rushed for 1,339 yards (3rd all-time for a single season at Texas A&M) and became the fastest running back in Southwest Conference history to reach 2,000 career yards.
In 1993, he set a record for longest run by an Aggie with a 94-yard scamper against TCU (later broken by D'Andre "Tiki" Hardeman). He finished his A&M career with 3,262 rushing yards - 3rd all-time for the Aggies, and added 33 touchdowns (5th all-time).
