5-star LB Anthony Hill signs with Texas Longhorns

Denton (Texas) Ryan five-star linebacker Anthony Hill has signed with Texas.

The 6-foot-2, 228-pound Hill is the No. 15 overall prospect and No. 1 linebacker in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 4 player in Texas.

Hill had been committed to Texas A&M since July 30 but backed off of his pledge on November 7. He announced his commitment to the Longhorns on December 15 picking Texas over Alabama and Texas A&M.

Hill currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $316K. 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 Scouting Summary

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.
