Wisconsin top-ranked class of 2025 wide receiver commit Eugene Hilton shined for Zionsville High School on Friday.
The touted rising senior snagged a pair of touchdown passes in the 31-20 loss to Pike High School. His most impressive sequence arrived on his second end zone snag, a play in which he employed his frame and strength to elevate over his defender before reeling in the pass at his highest point.
Hilton Jr., the son of former NFL Pro Bowl wide receiver T.Y. Hilton, has orchestrated a relatively busy week to kick-start his senior campaign. The two-touchdown output arrives just three days after Zionsville named him one of four captains for the crew’s 2024 slate.

The 6-foot-2, 195-pound wideout committed to Luke Fickell’s program during UW’s third recruiting window this summer (June 14) over other finalists Georgia, Ole Miss, Miami, Missouri, Kansas and Purdue. He and three-star wide receiver Cameron Miller remain the sole 2025 wideouts committed to Wisconsin through Aug. 24.
247Sports currently considers Hilton the No. 409 player in the class of 2025, No. 62 wide receiver and No. 7 recruit from his home state of Indiana. If he continues to showcase his dexterity throughout the season, those numbers will surely rise before he steps foot onto Camp Randall’s turf next summer.
