Former Wisconsin Badgers quarterback Deacon Hill scored a highlight reel touchdown for Utah Tech on Saturday.
Hill, who represented Wisconsin from 2021-22, made his Western Athletic Conference debut with Utah Tech in a match against No. 4 Montana State at home. Trailing 31-0 in the fourth quarter, the former Badger flashed some sneaky speed before reaching for the pylon.
The 24-yard touchdown would be the only score for Hill’s squad on Saturday, and the Trailblazers ultimately fell to the Bobcats 31-7 in the group’s season opener.
Hill completed 11 of his 23 passing attempts for 104 yards, including a 37-yard strike, through the air. The Santa Barbara, California native also rushed twice for 25 yards and the aforementioned score.

Before transferring to Utah Tech in May 2024, Hill started nine games for Iowa in 2023 after Cade McNamara suffered a leg injury. During those nine contests, Hill registered 122-of-251 passing for 1,152 yards and five touchdowns.
Despite being a Badger for multiple seasons, Hill played in just one match but failed to record a passing attempt.
The four-star high school prospect never reached his ceiling in college football, but his late burst with Utah Tech could make him a valuable asset in the WAC for the remainder of the season.
