Ronnie Keith Ryan Hillman (born September 14, 1991) is an American football running back who is currently a free agent. He played college football at San Diego State. He was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft.
Hillman is from Compton, California. He has four brothers and one sister. During his early years, Hillman highlighted his talents while attending and made his presence known at La Habra High School, lettering in basketball, football, and track. In football, he played as a running back. In 2007, he was named Southwest Division offensive player of the year after helping lead the Highlanders to the CIF Southern Section Southwest Division championship crown in a season where he amassed 1,615 yards and 20 touchdowns. As a senior in 2008, he was selected MVP of the Freeway League as he accounted for 2,104 yards all-purpose yards (1,251 rushing yards with 14 touchdowns) and 27 total touchdowns all-purpose yards and led the Highlanders to a 12-2 record and to the 2008 CIF Southern Section Southwest Division title after going 5-0 in the Freeway League and winning the 2008 Freeway League championship. His performance earned him first-team All-County honors and by the Orange County Register. Hillman was also a sprinter on the track & field team, where he was a member of the 4 × 100 m relay squad and compited in the 100 100-meter dash with a personal-best of 10.7 seconds.
Following his senior season, Hillman was tabbed as a three-star recruit by most recruiting analysts and received scholarship offers from Colorado State, San Diego State, and Fresno State. After a long gated period of time, Hillman decided to veer his talents locally for the Aztecs.
