did a little research.
he seems to like attention and credit.
sounds like a pissing contest with the coaches, who did not handle him like their star...
entire thing sounds silly
coaches took out their best dl for the fiesta bowl for a pissing contest???
their defense was on the field for too long yet they did not play their best dl much at all...
yet in their conference championship the week before,
Hill earned a career-high six tackles, including three tackles for loss and two sacks

All eight of these linemen are going to see a lot of playing time so I wouldn't read too much in the fact that Trysten Hill is technically listed as a backup here. "Replacing a guy that brought pressure off the edge defensively in Shaquem (Griffin) is critical," Heupel said recently. "Titus Davis has had a really good camp. he had a great offseason. He's going to be critical for us doing that. I think Trysten Hill is a guy that's had a great camp. There's four guys that are kind of entrenched in that role inside, being able to roll those guys."

"With the switch to the 4-3 scheme, everyone assumed Second Team All-Conference junior Trysten Hill would start alongside Connors. In a surprising switch up, redshirt senior A.J. Wooten will get the start with Hill listed as his backup."

On Trysten Hill's status:
"He just wasn't available tonight. He'll be back for next week."

Tristen Hill was a beast last weekend at Memphis. Not only did the UCF defensive lineman help keep the Tigers scoreless during that pivotal second half, he had some major contributions on offense as well. He was on the field as a blocker for two key fourth down plays, both of which were successfully converted. That includes the long 71-yard
Taj McGowan touchdown run, enabled because of Hill's crushing blow on Memphis cornerback

Trysten Hill was once the face of the future for the
UCFfootball program. Following a freshman year in 2016 that saw him start all 13 games at defensive end, Hill had quickly become a fan favorite and media darling. He was always the guy who was perfect for interviews, great in front of the camera and always has something to say. At some point early in his sophomore season, however, that all stopped.
His media availability was limited, his snap count dwindled at times and he started to gain a reputation, deserving or not, for being lazy and having attitude issues.
“It’s been difficult, you know, having been kind of in the spotlight with this team and helping the face of the program and being somebody,” Hill said. “And then having things happen … and having the coaching change happen and how some people started to spell it out in different ways about me in different situations and stuff like that."

UCF defensive lineman Trysten Hill, a junior who had considered transferring in the past, declared for the NFL draft hours after the Knights lost to LSU in Tuesday’s Fiesta Bowl.
Shortly after the Fiesta Bowl, Hill was asked if it was tough being on the field for as long as the defense was against the Tigers. Hill was quick to point out his lack of playing time.
“I wasn’t on the field a lot,” Hill said, noting his playing time. “I wasn’t really frustrated. I did what I could do when I was in. All that other stuff is out of my control and I can only do what I can do when I’m in the game.”
He delivered his best game as a Knight in December during
the American Athletic Conference title game against Memphis.
Hill earned a career-high six tackles, including three tackles for loss and two sacks, but Tuesday he played sparingly and was whistled for one offsides penalty.
