Five-star linebacker Anthony Hill will be all over the place this summer. The Denton Ryan product announced he is set to visit some of the premier programs around the country.

Hill will check out Oklahoma, Alabama, USC, Texas and Texas A&M this summer. Each school was named in Hill’s top six back on Feb. 14.

Recruiting analyst Gabe Brooks sees Hill as a future NFL athlete in his scouting report:

Capable of consistent sideline-to-sideline pursuit with proven blitzing ability. Tone-setter for an FBS-loaded Texas 5A D-I state championship defense as only a sophomore. Produced good numbers despite playing on a unit with a lot of mouths to feed, so to speak. Adequate in-space athleticism in coverage but at his best playing downhill. Owns valuable offensive reps as a short-yardage battering ram with the ball. Shows promising pass-rush instincts despite primary role being off-ball. Main question is position in the long term, but physical tools suggest highest ceiling as an edge player. Regardless, one of the most dynamic defensive prospects in Texas and the country for his class through the 2020 season. Projects as an impact high-major starter with long-term early-round NFL Draft potential.

Texas has built a strong connection with Denton Ryan High School over the years which will play to the Horns advantage in this recruitment. Fighting off the other big names who are battling for Hill’s commitment will be no easy task.
