College Career
Shaun Hill was not highly recruited out of high school. The local college Pittsburg State University did not offer him a scholarship at QB and wanted him for punter, he went to Hutchinson Community College and beat out five players to start at QB for two years and gain Division I attention. He spent his first two years at Hutchinson Community College, where he earned honorable mention All-American honors as a freshman and sophomore. His junior college success garnered him notice, and he eventually decided to attend college at University of Maryland. While serving primarily as a backup as a junior, he led the Maryland Terrapins to their first Atlantic Coast Conference title since 1985 as a senior in 2001. They earned a trip to the 2002 Orange Bowl and finished the year ranked #10 in the country. He finished his Maryland career with 3,158 yards and 19 touchdowns.

Famous quotes related to college career:
“In looking back over the college careers of those who for various reasons have been prominent in undergraduate life ... one cannot help noticing that these men have nearly always shown from the start an interest in the lives of their fellow students. A large acquaintance means that many persons are dependent on a man and conversely that he himself is dependent on many. Success necessarily means larger responsibilities, and responsibilities mean many friends.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
