Sure Malachi could be a super back in plays where an offense can hold the line of scrimmage, create a hole big enough to give him a head of steam moving into the second level like that highlight.  He can take it to the house for sure.  But honestly, how many running plays do we have where that is the situation? Maybe a few against Non P4 teams.  Another back may only get 20-40 yards on a play like that and that's fine.

But from what I saw of his HS highlights, I didn't see that much wiggle and ability to make things happen in congestion, which is really a lot of what you need in a RB on most plays along with vision. We need a guy who can consistently turn what may be a 2 yard run into 3-5 yds.  Or even a loss into 2-3 yds. Hill seems to be a young guy that is more like that and has shown very nice promise.  If i was choosing between those backs i'd take Hill.

But I like Malachi and wish him well.  Hopefully he gets fully healthy and can excel in track or football.

Malachi was here for 2 years and it appears we let him go.  It has to be hard for a player not to take it personal, but Fran has to go with what he thinks are the best odds for the program to succeed moving forward. And its not like Malachi is now going to be out of a college scholarship. He'll at the very least have plenty of other track opportunities with that speed.
