Five-star linebacker Anthony Hill announced his commitment to Texas on Thursday night.
The nation’s top linebacker prospect committed to the Longhorns over the likes of Alabama, Miami and Texas A&M. Hill pushes Texas’ recruiting class to No. 3 overall in the 2023 cycle.
The Denton Ryan product has a chance to make an early impact on Texas’ defense. Hill has the prototypical frame and athleticism to excel at the college level. He has been one of the best players at the Texas 6A level for the last three seasons.
247Sports recruiting analyst Gabe Brooks compares Hill to New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis.
Athletic, physical, violent off-ball linebacker who occasionally steps to the line of scrimmage. Long-term positional home has been in question in the past, but functional athleticism and playmaking ability are not. Senior season displayed improved in-space competency as a big-bodied traditional off-ball ‘backer who could likely stay there in the long term.
Texas now has four five-stars in its 2023 recruiting class, more than any team in the country.
