Hiller, who has been training in Los Angeles, finished his Bronco career as the career, season and game record holder for passing yards, attempts, completions and total offense; the career and season record holder for passing TDs, total offensive plays and 300-yard passing games. He was recently named Second Team All-Mid-American Conference and Second Team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America.
Texas vs. the Nation began as an idea to bring a sense of rivalry and teamwork back to the all-star arena. After considering other locations including Aruba, the Bahamas, Phoenix, and San Diego, CEO Kenny Hansmire selected El Paso and the Sun Bowl Stadium to host the inaugural game. Texas vs. the Nation would pit top collegiate senior all-stars with ties to the state of Texas against top seniors from around the Nation.
