Abstract Football player and entrepreneur Darryl Hill was born on October 21, 1943 in Washington, D.C. After graduation from Gonzaga College High School in 1960, he attended Xavier University, the U.S. Naval Academy, and the University of Maryland. He broke the color barrier at Gonzaga, Navy and at Maryland by being the first African American to play on the football team. In 1962, he became the first African American to receive an athletic scholarship to play sports at a major university in the south. Hill was the first African American to play football in the Atlantic Coast Conference which consisted of previously segregated white institutions. He graduated from the University of Maryland with his B.S. degree in economics. After graduation, Hill opened one of Washington, D.C.'s first upscale soul food restaurants, W.H. Bone. Hill left the restaurant business and moved to the West Coast. From 1982 to 1995, Hill operated several successful energy companies in California.
