  Sometimes what a college football player does off the field is just as rewarding as what he does on it. For Mississippi State running back Kylin Hill, that held true when he was presented with the key to his hometown Tuesday evening. Mayor Robert Smith awarded Hill the ceremonious key to Columbus during a city council meeting. Smith commended Hill for his heroism when he tweeted that he will not represent Mississippi as a college football player until the Confederate battle emblem was removed from the state flag. Five days after Hill's tweet, the Mississippi legislature voted to remove the emblem.

"We have all these big-time athletes who have a voice but won't speak on it," Hill said during the presentation. "I said, why not me? That's the thing - you can't be scared to speak up. Being scared to speak up, the situation will never get handled." Hill's tweet and pressure from the SEC and NCAA led to key college athletics figures from the state of Mississippi - including MSU athletic director John Cohen and football coach Mike Leach - to lobby legislators to change the state flag. Hill was also an active participant in a racial equality march that took place in the streets of Starkville on June 6, less than two weeks after the death of George Floyd. - The Clarion Ledger
