Hill is the #1 LB in the nation and the #15 recruit overall on the 247 Sports Recruiting Composite.
Hill stands 6’2 and weighs 227 lbs. He runs a 4.65 40, benches 305 and squats 465. He has plenty of time to grow bigger and stronger in a college S&C program.
Watching Anthony Hill’s highlight film, two things immediately stand out: his vision and his aggression. Hill plays downhill at all times and is equally good flying into the backfield to make a tackle for loss as he is playing off blocks. He has the football IQ and vision to immediately see what is happening in front of him and translate that into immediate action to stop the play. Hill is someone who can come in immediately and play at Will Linebacker in A&M defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin’s defensive scheme and eventually move to Mike LB and call all of the signals when he learns the defense. Hill is a player who sees the whole field and what the offense is trying to accomplish, and then reacts to destroy the offense’s plans play after play.
Hill isn’t fooled by pulling linemen and isn’t cross-keyed by the offense. Anthony Hill is well-coached and is receptive to coaching. Hill is the blend of athleticism and intelligence you want at linebacker.
Hill is the seventh commitment in Texas A&M’s 2023 class and their first linebacker commit. Anthony Hill chose A&M over offer from Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Ohio State, and virtually everyone else in the nation. Following the commitment of Chase Bisontis, Hill is A&M’s second commitment this week.
