The Flagship: Former Texas RB Jeremy Hills weighs in on Longhorns


Listen Later

In this week's interview edition of The Flagship Podcast, we talk to former Texas running back Jeremy Hills, now an elite performance coach, about his new, 20,000-square-foot workout/lifestyle facility - The Kollective - opening off South Congress in mid-August as well as his Pro Stars Camp happening in Austin July 10.

Hills takes us through his journey from Texas as a running back (from 2008-11), then to his time as an elite performance coach with Onnit to now going on his own with The Kollective, where he'll help train a high-profile client list that includes NFL stars such as Jalen Ramsey, Derwin James, Kenny Vaccaro, Alex Okafor, Joseph Ossai and many more.

In fact, all of those players just named will be part of Hills' Pro Stars Camp in Austin on July 10 as well as Dallas Cowboys rookie linebacker Micah Parsons, Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts, Cardinals' safety Budda Baker, Texans' quarterback Deshaun Watson as well as former Longhorns in the NFL - Quandre Diggs, Malcolm Brown, Malcom Brown and DeShon Elliott will also be part of the camp.

"I'm not aware of another camp that has more than 40 active NFL players who will be coaching your kids (ages 6 to 18) about their technique in position drills," Hills told the Flagship Podcast.

For more information on the Pro Stars Camp, go to faircatchfoundation.com.

Hills said 100 percent of the proceeds from donations ranging from $150 to $500 for the camp will go to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, local Austin Foster Homes and Alex Okafor's Survivor Scholarship Program. (A $500 donation gets participation in the Pro Stars Camp, a signed football and picture with your favorite NFL star in attendance and a VIP meet & greet with all the NFL stars.)

Hills goes into detail about all the components of the Kollective, including how he helped recruit top physical therapists and trainers from across the country to join the staff.

Hills also has created space at the Kollective for everything from pilates, a lounge area (with a mini-movie theater), 3,000-square feet of space for members to work, studios to record podcasts as well as 175 dedicated parking spaces.

Of course, we ask Hills about his thoughts regarding Texas football - where it's been since 2009 - and where it's headed.

Hills talks about how Texas has been deficient in developing the mental side of football in addition to the physical side as a reason for the Longhorns "underachieving."

But Hills, who introduced new Texas coach Steve Sarkisian at a recent Boys And Girls Clubs of Austin luncheon, is optimistic that UT is headed in the right direction.

Hills talks about what made the 2008 and 2009 Texas teams special and why Colt McCoy is a "junkyard dog" still playing quarterback in the NFL ... and more.

Hills also talks about his friendship with former Texas student-turned-NFL super agent David Mulugheta of Athletes First and how they've helped each other along the way. 

It's a can't-miss interview edition of The Flagship Podcast.
