Hill is commitment No. 21 in Alabama’s 2023 recruiting class, which is ranked No. 1 nationally. The 247Sports scouting report on Hill notes that he “has explosiveness and quickness off the ball as well as pursuit speed, which he has verified in a camp setting,” adding that he’s “disruptive and gets up field in a hurry.” Those traits can be seen in his Hudl junior-season highlight compilation, embedded below:
