In a recent interview with Rivals.com, Hiter had this to say about what he’s looking for in his next football home, “It’s important for me to be at a school where I’m going to be used and developed as a running back,” said Hiter. “Where I can get my degree but also be prepared for the next level, which Gold willing is the NFL.”

 

As far as his contact with Penn State, Hiter received his offer back in February of 2023 and made an unofficial visit the following month. In terms of his most recent visits to other programs, Savion was recently in Ann Arbour to visit Michigan and before that, he was at Georgia.
