While focusing on the top-tier quarterbacks in the 2024 draft class, the Las Vegas Raiders are also actively scouting prospects across all levels. Among the players they’ve shown interest in this spring is Samford quarterback Michael Hiers, whom they are reportedly meeting with ahead of the draft.
Statistics:
He has been the starting quarterback at Samford for the last two seasons. In 2022, he had an outstanding season, boasting a completion rate of 76 percent, throwing for 3,535 yards, 36 touchdowns, and only four interceptions. This performance earned him the title of Southern Conference Offensive Player of the Year. While his senior season in 2023 was solid, it didn’t quite match the spectacular nature of his 2022 campaign. He completed 72 percent of his passes for 3,056 yards, with 18 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
