Hillmon played college basketball at Michigan and was their first-ever All-American in their women’s basketball program. She was the first Michigan basketball player – male or female – in school history to score 2,000 points and grab 1,000 rebounds. Hillmon recorded a double-double in the team’s four games in the 2022 NCAA Tournament, finishing her career with 52 total.
She was then drafted 15th overall by the Atlanta Dream in the 2022 WNBA draft and started in 12 of 24 games played in her first season. Before the start of the 2023 WNBA season, Hillmon joined Athletes Unlimited for their second season of play and she is turning heads.
