Alabama lands commitment from 2023 four-star DL Edric Hill

Alabama land a commitment from talented 2023 four-star DL Edric Hill on Monday.

Many experts and fellow Alabama fans presumed that 2023 defensive lineman Edric Hill would commit to the Crimson Tide on Monday. That is exactly what happened. The native of Kansas City, Missouri announced his commitment to Alabama via Twitter. He chose Alabama over other programs like Missouri, Oklahoma, Oregon, LSU and USC.

Hill is regarded as a four-star by 247Sports’ Rankings. He is listed at 6-foot-3, 290 pounds. Along with Hill, there are two other defensive linemen that have committed to Alabama: Yhonzae Pierre and Hunter Osborne.

When speaking with On3’s Hayes Fawcett, here is what he had to say about committing to the Crimson Tide:

“What stood out about Alabama was the relationship I had with the coaches and some of the players,” Hill said. “Also, coach Roach is a good guy to be around, and I just felt comfortable in Tuscaloosa. I just want to win some games and get better as a player and person.”

Alabama will likely lose several of its defensive linemen to the 2023 NFL draft. If that is the case, he could work his way into the rotation along the defensive line. When asked by Fawcett about Alabama’s plans for Hill, here is what he had to say:

“They are going to move me around at a 3 tech, 4i, 5, and I will be playing defensive end mostly,” Hill said. “It is a dream come true to play for a high level school, and the standard is always very high.”

It will be interesting to see how Alabama closes out the 2023 recruiting class along the defensive line. The Crimson Tide are also pursuing several other defensive linemen like Keon Keeley, James Smith, and Jordan Renaud.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to track Hill and his high school career as well as other Alabama football recruiting news.
