Texas A&M starting quarterback Kenny Hill made quite an impression in his first career start last week and fans immediately dubbed him "Kenny Football" as a play on the nickname given to former Aggie star and current NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel.
But Hill has something else in mind. While talking with ESPN, he revealed that he's been playing with the idea of different nicknames. "I heard there's Kenny Trill, Kenny Thrill, King of the Hill, Kenny Football, Kenny Chill, Kenny Touchdown," Hill said, according to XXL. "I mean there's too many of them."
He's sold on "Kenny Trill." "I like that one," he said. "That one's cool."
Bun B, who is credited with creating the term, took to Twitter to give his take and he says Hill shouldn't jump the gun.
Like the idea of "Kenny Trill" but I think @coachsumlin would agree one good game alone doesn't make you trill. He's on his way though!

For now, the A&M quarterback remains hopeful. "I know about Bun B and I know coach Sumlin has got a little relationship with Bun B," said Hill. "So hopefully he'll let me be Kenny Trill."
That'd most certainly be a good look for Hill.
The Texas A&M football team has had a long standing relationship with the hip-hop world.
Johnny Manziel and Drake have a budding bromance (i.e. Drizzy's "Draft Day" release) and former Aggies wide receiver Mike Evans signed with Cash Money Sports back in March.
Evans went on to become to agency's first athletic signee.
"Yeah, just for my marketing side," Evans told MTV in May, when asked if he's down with Cash Money Sports. "Slim's my mentor. They're great people to have in my corner, and I just love them."
