Zionsville (Ind.) three-star wide receiver Eugene Hilton Jr. will announce his commitment on Friday at 5 p.m. ET, he announced on social media.

Back in March, Hilton narrowed his list to Georgia, Ole Miss, Miami, Missouri, Kansas, Purdue and Wisconsin.

Hilton is the son of four-time Pro Bowler T.Y. Hilton, who played for the Indianapolis Colts.

Wisconsin currently holds a narrow edge in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM) with a 50.8% chance to land Hilton’s commitment. On3’s Steve Wiltfong has logged an expert prediction favoring the Badgers with a 60% confidence level.

Hilton recaps official visit to Wisconsin

He took his official visit to Madison last weekend.

“It was great, learned a lot about the school,” the 6-foot-2, 195-pound Hilton told On3.

“Big takeaways is the direction they want to go with the program. You know what their core values are.

“Another big takeaway is getting to be around and get to know all the coaches and players and see the environment.”

Second-year coach Luke Fickell and the staff made a big impression on Hilton.

“Something I didn’t know about Coach Fickell is how many people he has currently in the NFL and how many guys have been drafted,” Hilton said.

Hilton added he likes the traditions of Wisconsin football.

“We built a great connection over time,” Hilton said. “I think this weekend helped me learn a lot more about them. And kind of just be closer. I think that helped me cut out some other schools, see what schools I wanted to keep and see if they checked off the boxes that I have.”

Hilton Jr. is the nation’s No. 489 overall prospect, No. 79 wide receiver and No. 7 recruit from Indiana in the 2025 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
