The On3 industry ranking–a weighted composite that includes the individual rankings from On3, 247Sports, ESPN, and Rivals–views Hiller as the No. 38 overall prospect in the country in the class of 2027. However, On3’s player rankings are higher on Hiller, rating him as the No. 18 player nationally.
Both the On3 industry ranking and On3’s player rankings view him as the top-ranked interior offensive lineman in America and the No. 2 prospect in the state of Pennsylvania. The rest of the recruiting industry views him as an offensive tackle recruit.
Listed at 6-5 and 295 pounds, Hiller is a strong run blocker. He also is comfortable operating as a puller and at climbing to the second level. As a blocker in the passing game, he has a sturdy anchor and strong hands. Once he spends some time with college coaching, he could develop into a big-time pass protector.

Despite being a sophomore in high school, Hiller already is impressive in the weight room. If he continues to develop and get stronger, the sky is the limit for him as a college lineman.
