BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Former Campbell tight end Julian Hill has made the initial 53-man roster for the Miami Dolphins.

Hill signed with the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent after completing his collegiate career with the Camels in 2022. The Fayetteville, N.C. native is the first Camel to appear on an NFL 53-man roster.

Hill registered 659 yards receiving with five TD catches and 38 total receptions, leading all Big South tight ends in those categories. He posted 50 or more receiving yards six times on the season, including a career-high 122 yards on four catches with a touchdown at Bryant.

Hill added a rushing touchdown at North Carolina A&T, also helping lead the Camels to 500 or more yards of total offense four times, and 400 or more passing yards twice.

He played in 48 games from 2018-22 at Campbell, making 26 consecutive starts over his last three seasons, with 85 receptions for 1,218 yards and seven touchdowns.
