Pitt Offers Class of 2027 West Mifflin Star RB Armand Hill
Pitt football is always looking for great local talent and offered Class of 2027 West Mifflin star running back Armand Hill Wednesday night.
Hill made headlines when he rushed for 495 yards and five touchdowns in the victory over Hopewell on Oct. 20. West Mifflin states that he rushed for 499 yards, but either way, it is still the second most rushing yards ever in a WPIAL game since Mapletown running back Dylan Rush ran for 527 yards in a 48-32 victory over Avella in 2017, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
He had touchdown runs of seven yards, 26 yards, 40 yards, 61 yards and 75 yards. He possesses attributes of all great running backs, such as his blistering pace and strength to break off tackles, but what separates truly Hill from other running backs his age is his vision. He had patience once he received the hand off and moved through tight spaces to create room between him and his defenders, allowing his speed to take over and a great performance overall against the Vikings.
Hill also ran for 313 yards and five touchdowns in the blowout, 57-13 win against Quaker Valley on the road last in the game Oct. 13, That made it 808 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns over those two games for the West Mifflin running back.
His performances helped West Mifflin win their final four games of the regular season and a 5-1 record in the WPIAL Class 3A Western Hills Conference. West Mifflin made it to the WPIAL 3A Quarterfinals, where they lost to Elizabeth Forward 42-21 on Nov. 10.
Along with Pitt, he also holds offers from UNLV, Penn State and Bowling Green as a ninth grader. If Hill continues to perform well as a sophomore, he’ll continue to receive more high-profile offers in the future.
Remnants of a young Tony Dorsett. Natural talents. Fun to watch.
