Five-Star LB Anthony Hill Jr. decommits from Texas A&M

Denton (TX) Ryan High five-star linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. announced his decommitment from Texas A&M Monday afternoon. 

The 6-foot-2, 220 pounder had been committed to the Aggies since July.

Hill sent a statement to On3 regarding his decommitment:

First, I would like to thank Texas A&m, Coach Santucci, and staff for recruiting  and developing a personal relationship with me and my family. 

Thank you to the Texas A&M fans who have been a great support throughout my recruitment. 

After further difficult discussions with my family, I will be decommitting from Texas A&M and opening up my recruitment

Anthony Hill Jr. Scouting Summary

“Downhill linebacker with good size and straight-line speed,” On3’s Director of Scouting Charles Power wrote. “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.”

The Lone Star state linebacker currently ranks as the No. 18 player in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that accounts for all four major recruiting services. He also tabs in as the No. 1 linebacker and the No. 3 player in the state of Texas.
