The Aggies got a commitment from Hill on July 30. However, multiple programs are still seeking his pledge. Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian and linebackers coach Jeff Choate are in attendance at Hill’s game tonight. Additionally, Desoto (Texas) four-star wide receiver and Longhorns commit Johntay Cook II pitched Hill to flip his pledge to Texas on social media.
Hill has an On3 NIL Valuation of $311K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
Anthony Hill On3 Scouting Summary
The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Anthony Hill:
“Downhill linebacker with good size and straight-line speed. Has starred for one of the top defenses in Texas high school football since his sophomore season. Combines his speed with a high effort level, resulting in a highly productive player at the high school level. At his best when he can use his closing speed as a blitzer or in pursuit sideline-to-sideline.
“Shows some physicality as a striker. Has one of the longer wing-spans of top linebackers in the 2023 cycle. Provides added value as a pass rusher and may eventually grow into an EDGE prospect down the line. Has a penchant for forcing turnovers and looks to strip the football often. Will need to continue improving his skills playing in space and in coverage.”
