Quotable

“The defensive line group was deep and strong with talent, but Hill was having success against some of the best. He was anchoring well, he displayed balance and he was tough to move.”

— Rivals.com regional analyst Chad Simmons after Hill’s performance at the Rivals 3 Stripe Camp presented by adidas in Atlanta.

Scouting Report

• Versatile line prospect who played mainly tackle at Brookwood but might be more suited to line up on the interior in college.

• On film looks like a mauler who is physical and has a strong punch.

• Has earned rave reviews for his character off the field.

2020 Projection

Hill is an offensive line prospect that has the versatility to potentially hit the field early if he makes the quick adjustment to the college game, but the reality is that playing a significant role as a true freshman for an offensive lineman is rare.
