Denton (Texas) Ryan 2023 linebacker Anthony Hill will be heading west for an official visit to USC this June, he announced on Twitter Sunday afternoon. Hill will be in Los Angeles beginning June 16.

Anthony Hill is a five-star prospect ranked No. 14 nationally and is the top linebacker in 2023 according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine gives USC just an 8.3% chance to land Hill’s commitment. Texas A&M leads the way at 39.7%, followed by Oklahoma and Texas at 24.6% and 17.4% respectively.

The 6-foot-2, 228-pound linebacker recently took his first visit to Miami (Fla.) for the Canes’ spring game. Hill’s father is originally from South Florida.

Anthony Hill Scouting Summary

On3 Director of Scouting Charles Power wrote the following on Anthony Hill as a prospect:

Downhill linebacker with good size and straight-line speed. Has starred for one of the top defenses in Texas high school football since his sophomore season. Combines his speed with a high effort level, resulting in a highly productive player at the high school level. At his best when he can use his closing speed as a blitzer or in pursuit sideline-to-sideline. Shows some physicality as a striker. Has one of the longer wing-spans of top linebackers in the 2023 cycle. Provides added value as a pass rusher and may eventually grow into an EDGE prospect down the line. Has a penchant for forcing turnovers and looks to strip the football often. Will need to continue improving his skills playing in space and in coverage.
