This season, Hillman has run for 706 yards and eight touchdowns on 86 carries for the 4-0 Irish, who are No. 3 in the Inquirer rankings heading into Friday night's showdown at No. 10 Shanwee (3-1). As an outside linebacker, he leads the Irish with 9 1/2 sacks.
"I'm tremendously proud of him," Camden Catholic coach Nick Strom said of Hillman. "He's matured into an exceptional football player and quality young man. Our defensive coordinator, Joe McColgan, regards him as one of the top two or three outside linebackers he's had in his long career."
Hillman is a productive runner but also a top receiver and blocker. Strom regards Hillman as "the perfect fit" for the Irish's fast-paced, no-huddle spread offense.
Hillman has drawn recruiting interest from college programs such as Bryant and Richmond, and Strom expects more programs to get involved with his star senior in the near future.
"He's only 16 years old," Strom said. "He's going to be a special college football player."
