He played high school basketball at Montverde Academy alongside future Florida teammate Michael Frazier II.[1]

In Hill's freshman season, Florida reached the Final Four. He was a backup point guard to Scottie Wilbekin.[1] During his time at UF, Hill made 57.7% of his free throws.[2] In the 2016–17 season under Florida coach Mike White, Hill averaged 2.9 rebounds, 1.7 steals, and 0.1 blocks per game, earning him a spot on the SEC All-Defensive Team. Hill's 2016–17 season was littered with standout performances such as the 22-point defeat of Kentucky on February 4 when he achieved 21 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists in front of a sold-out crowd at the newly renovated O'Connell Center.
