On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine: Texas trending for 5-star LB Anthony Hill

Five-star Denton (Texas) Ryan linebacker Anthony Hill decommitted from Texas A&M on Monday, but another school is already trending in his recruitment.

According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM), Texas is now the heavy favorite to land Hill. The RPM gives the Longhorns an 87.5 percent chance of securing his commitment.

The 6-foot-2, 228-pounder chose the Aggies over Texas, as well as a number of other programs, in late July. But Texas remained in contact with him, and the Aggies’ early-season struggles opened the door for a decommitment. Hill will now visit Texas this weekend for the Longhorns’ game against TCU, Gerry Hamilton of InsideTexas has confirmed, and they appear to be close to landing their third five-star prospect in this cycle.

Hill is the No. 18 overall prospect 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 ranks as the nation’s top linebacker and the No. 3 senior recruit in the state of Texas.

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.”
