LB Justin Hilliard (2020 B1G Champ Def POG)

Where's Kwon off to this weekend?
I think I saw somewhere just back in Georgia for the weekend. Odd that just 2 weeks ago he was supposedly going to be in Columbus but now isn't. Hopefully not an emergency, but more likely the fact that you can do whatever the hell you want when you're a college student (I miss those days when you actually thought you were busy and had a lot of responsibility.....lol)

Cincinnati linebacker Justin Hilliard, at Ohio State Nike camp, says he plans to announce this summer, has top two: Buckeyes recruiting

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Cincinnati linebacker Justin Hilliard said before a Nike football camp on the Ohio State campus on Sunday that he plans to announce his college choice within the next month or so, and two schools have moved above the others.

Hilliard, who revealed a top five last week of Ohio State, Michigan, Alabama, Notre Dame and Iowa, wouldn't say the two schools at the front of the pack. But as he continues to gather information, he has a good feeling about his process. He said he has visited all the schools in his top five several times, and now he's down to the details.

But his decision won't come down to a lightning bolt moment. Because he's had several of those.

"Whenever I see someone commit right after a visit, I feel like they made a decision based on their gut," Hilliard said. "But I don't believe in that. Sometimes after every visit I'll have a moment like, 'This is the school.' But I want to go and try to wait a couple days and see what I really think.

"When I make a decision I want it to be 100 percent, because I don't want to decommit. I want it to be my decision, hopefully in late June to early July."

Contd....

Also a video in the story.

Hilliard is a missile, an instinctual missile...reminds me a lot of Jordan Hicks' junior film. Times up his blitzes really well and finds his way through traffic to get to the ball and even squares up on the ball nicely. Once he bulks up a bit, he is going to be a wrecking ball. I really love how comfortable he is in coverage as well, means he will likely stay out on the field in our Nickel packages. Really hoping to see something positive here soon.

I can't wait to watch this kid in person in the fall, hopefully by then he's a Buckeye commit, and represents the school with stellar play. A future LB corp with McMillan, Booker, Hubbard, Berger, Hilliard, Kilby Lane, and Baker would be tremendous.
