Hill-Green was a Michigan starter in 2021 before sitting out the entire 2022 season with an injury. Last season, playing with the 49ers, he became one of the better defensive players under Poggi.

Hill-Green recorded 73 tackles, two sacks, and nine TFLs. He will enter UCF with a chance to become a starter in the Big-12 conference — linebacker was a big need for the Knights.

The former Wolverine also had an offer from Florida State. He will have two years of eligibility remaining.
