4-star CB Jyaire Hill commits to Michigan

Kankakee (Ill.) four-star cornerback Jyaire Hill has announced his commitment to Michigan. He chose the Wolverines over multiple programs, including Illinois and Notre Dame.

Hill is the No. 197 overall prospect and No. 25 cornerback in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 3 player in Illinois.

On3 rates Hill higher than other recruiting services, according to the Industry Comparison. Per the 2023 On300, he is the No. 112 overall prospect, No. 15 cornerback and No. 2 player in Illinois.

“I’ve been impressed a lot,” Hill told EJ Holland of The Wolverine on Nov. 18 about Michigan’s defense. “I don’t even think they’ve gotten scored on in the second halves. It looks like both of their corners might be leaving. I know they have some four- and five-star corners. But I feel like I can secure a spot if I go there early.”

Hill took four visits to Ann Arbor, most recently on Nov. 19. His official visit was on June 10.

The Illinois native has an On3 NIL Valuation of $18K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Jyaire Hill On3 Scouting Summary

The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Jyaire Hill:

“Productive, do-it-all playmaker who likely projects as a cornerback long-term. A taller, thin defensive back measuring in at over 6-foot-1 and around 170 pounds prior to his senior season. A dominant multi-phase high school player. Lines up multiple spots on offense, including quarterback and running back. Also plays defensive back, often lining up safety. Has excellent ball production, picking off 7 passes as a junior. Shows plus instincts at defensive back, quickly triggering to break on routes.

“Also shows reactive quickness in man coverage in the camp setting. Dangerous with the ball in his hands as a kick and punt returner. Has a long, easy stride. Has posted strong speed marks, running an electronically-timed 4.59 second 40-yard dash and a 10.87 second 100 meter mark as a junior. Will need to continue getting stronger, but has considerable upside given his stature, ball skills and athleticism.”
