Taysom Hill (born August 23, 1990) is an American football quarterback for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Brigham Young University Cougars.
Hill attended Highland High School in Pocatello, Idaho, where he was a letterman in football, basketball and track. As a senior, he threw for 2,269 yards and 18 touchdowns, and rushed for 1,491 yards and 24 touchdowns, earning the All-Idaho Player of the Year, Gatorade High School Player of the Year, First Team All-State selection and earned All-Region and All-Conference Player of the Year accolades. He holds the school single-season and career records for total offense.
In track & field, Hill ran the 200-meters and competed in long jump. At the 2007 5A District IV/V/VI Regional Meet, he recorded a personal-best time of 22.5 seconds in the 200 meters, placing 3rd, and ran the fourth leg on the 4 × 200m relay squad, helping them earn a first-place finish at 1:31.41 minutes. He won the long jump event at the 2009 5A Regional Meet, with a mark of 6.85 meters (22 feet 5.6 inches).
Coming out of high school, Hill had offers from University of Arizona, Boise State University, Oregon State University, Washington State University, University of Utah, Stanford University, and Brigham Young University. He was heavily recruited by Jim Harbaugh and had originally committed to Stanford; but during his LDS church mission, he found out that Stanford did not allow incoming freshmen to join the team until June. As a result, he decided to go to Brigham Young instead.
