Redshirt sophomore running back Alden Hill announced on Tuesday that he will be leaving the Tennessee Volunteer football program.

“As of today I am sad to say I am no longer a Tennessee Vol,” Hill said in an Instagram post on Tuesday night. “I have decided to move on for my best interest and find a new home.”

With the addition of three freshman running backs and the position change of senior Devrin Young from wide receiver to tailback, Hill’s potential to get a significant amount of reps took a large hit this offseason.

The Alliance, Ohio, native played eight games for the Vols in 2013, carrying the ball 10 times for a total of 58 yards. Hill’s lone score of his career came with 7:14 remaining in the fourth quarter against Oregon on Sept. 14, 2013 on an 8-yard touchdown run.

Hill was a three-star running back coming out Marlington High School, according to Rivals.com.

“I thank the coaches and the fans for my time here and (I) will always remember my time spent at Tennessee, my first true love,” Hill added.

With Hill’s departure, only 11 players remain from the Vols’ 2012 recruiting class – defensive end LaTroy Lewis, defensive tackle Danny O’Brien, linebackers Justin King and Kenny Bynum, quarterback Nathan Peterman, receivers Jason Croom, Drae Bowles and Cody Blanc and kicker George Bullock.

Another member of the 2012 class, wide receiver Alton “Pig” Howard, is currently on leave from the program and his future status is uncertain.
