Robert Hill, a freshman quarterback from Willcox High School in Willcox, Arizona, has been playing football since the age of five. For Robert, the dream is clear—he wants to make it to the NFL. His early passion for the game set him on a path to embrace the hard work, discipline, and leadership required to reach his goals.

What Robert enjoys most about being a quarterback is the ability to lead his team and, of course, winning. He believes in key qualities like leadership, friendship, and focus, which have shaped his approach to the sport. “I admire Josh Allen,” Robert says. “He’s a good leader and very effective in the game.” Allen’s blend of leadership and on-field performance resonates deeply with Robert’s style and aspirations.

Robert has big ambitions for his team, including a short-term goal of taking them to a state championship. A standout moment in his young career so far was defeating their rivals, Benson, a game that further fueled his competitive drive. Despite experiencing a concussion while playing safety, Robert remained determined, taking the necessary time to rest and return stronger.

When preparing for games, Robert follows a focused routine: “Wake up, eat breakfast, listen to music, do a light workout, tape my ankles, pad up, and play.” This structure helps him stay sharp and ready for action on the field. A key figure in his journey is Coach Steven Ward, who has been coaching Robert since he started football. “Coach Ward has taught me everything I know as a quarterback,” Robert acknowledges.

While football is his main focus, Robert also enjoys playing basketball, which helps him stay active and maintain his fitness in the offseason. His mindset remains consistent—“Just keep working”—a mantra that pushes him to improve each day and stay ready for whatever challenges come his way.

With his leadership skills, passion for the game, and unwavering commitment to his team, Robert Hill is a quarterback to watch as he continues to develop at Willcox High School. Whether it’s on the practice field or under the Friday night lights, Robert’s dedication to his team and his ultimate dream of reaching the NFL is evident in everything he does.
