Has possessed readymade size for several years, checking in at around 6-foot-2, 225 pounds with a 32.5-inch arm as a senior.

At his best when he can use his closing speed as a blitzer or in pursuit sideline-to-sideline. Shows physicality as a striker. Provides added value as a pass rusher and could be used off the edge in certain situations. Has a penchant for forcing turnovers and looks to strip the football often.

Personal Life
Anthony Hill is a rare player for the storied Denton (Texas) Ryan program, as he is one of the few in recent history to stay on the field for nearly every play of the game on both sides of the ball. “He’s definitely a catalyst. He’s a phenom,” Ryan coach Dave Henigan told the Denton Record-Chronicle. “He’s in even more of a leadership role than he was a year ago, and he was making plays back then. He’s freakishly talented, but he’s also a good kid and a hard worker. He’s coachable, and you know he’ll get better. He’s just special.” Off the field, Hill likes making shirts for his budding business and listening and performing music. His parents are Anthony Hill Sr. and Jameka Walton. Hill plans on majoring in business management in college.
