I did not see this question until now......my apologies.
The Illinois offensive line loses two seniors from last year (Akim Millington and All-American Martin O'Donnell). They have one returning starter who will be a senior (Ryan McDonald) and two returning starters who will be juniors (Xavier Fulton and Jon Asamoah).
Other returning OL include Senior Eric Block (i kid you not on the name), RS Freshman Jack Cornell, RS Freshman Mike Garrity, Sophomore Randall Hunt, Sophomore Brandon Jordan, Sophomore Ryan Palmer, and RS freshman Craig Wilson.
Incoming signees include Graham Pocic (early enrollee), Tyler Sands, Jeff Allen (early enrollee), Corey Lewis, and Ryan Sedlacek.
These players will make up the two spots left open.
As far as Hill, as is clear, Illinois possesses a lot of youth on the OLine (gotta see if theyre any good now) and so i think it would be wise, imo, to redshirt. He certainly has the physical tools with his weight and size but i think it woudl be best if he got a year underneath him with weight training.
Jack Cornell coming off his redshirt year grew enormously and is mostly muscle now. I can see the same thing happening with Hill if he redshirts.
