An explosive player with a tremendous wingspan, Hill had five sacks in the final seven games of the ’03 season, including one in the national championship game victory over Oklahoma. Hill was the Patriots’ second-round draft choice in 2004, and he had developed into one of the most promising players in the organization. During the off-seasons, Hill came back to his hometown of New Orleans, where he helped his family members rebuild their homes after the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina. He also worked out frequently at LSU’s football complex, where he was greatly respected and admired by the current Tiger players. Marquise Hill was 24 years old.

    Head Coach INTRO NOTEBOOK COACHES TIGERS REVIEW THE SEASON HISTORY Les Miles LSU FOOTBALL HEAD COACH After leading LSU to an 11-2 mark and a top five national ranking in his first year as LSU's head coach, many wondered just what Les Miles would do for an encore. His second year with the Tigers has been another year full of milestones and firsts as he's guided the Tigers to a 10-2 overall mark and a berth in the Sugar Bowl against Notre Dame. LSU's at-large berth in a BCS bowl is a first in school history and it also represents the third time this decade that the Tigers will play in the Sugar Bowl. In 2006, Miles became the first coach in LSU history to lead the Tigers to back-to-back 10-wins seasons and with 21 victories in his first 25 games as the school's head coach, his win total matches Bernie Moore for the most in school history over that span.

The compilation of the All-America roster was supervised by a panel of analysts working in large part with the historical records contained in the files of the Dr. Baker Football Information Service.

  • Former Ohio State Running Back Pepe Pearson Opens up About Playing, Coaching Career
    Former Ohio State Running Back Pepe Pearson Opens Up About Playing, Coaching Career Since the NFL draft’s inception in 1936, the Ohio State football program has been a mainstay. The Buckeyes have had a whopping 477 players selected – including a nation-leading 84 first-round picks – across 85 drafts. A quick glimpse at the long list of players would reveal the 1997 Buckeyes as an anomaly, however. After falling to Florida State in the Sugar Bowl, all of Ohio State’s draft-eligible juniors opted to put their NFL dreams on hold for another shot at a national title. Running back Pepe Pearson didn’t have a choice, however, as he was one of the few starters who had exhausted his eligibility that season. Despite receiving a late-round grade from NFL personnel, Pearson went unselected in the 1998 draft. He signed a free-agent deal with the San Francisco 49ers and bounced around the league for three seasons, also spending time on the offseason roster or practice squads of the Chicago Bears, Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Pearson, who weighed in at 5-10 and 209 pounds during his playing career, also had briefs stints with the Rhein Fire of NFL Europe, the Las Vegas Outlaws of the original XFL and the Dayton Warbirds of the National Indoor Football League. If you ask for the highlight of his career, Pearson will quickly point to the Fire’s 13-10 win over the Scottish Claymores in World Bowl 2000, the eighth installment of NFL Europe’s championship game.
