By the time he gets to campus, they're gonna need a vaper vacuum to time him
His speed on the field catches your eye whether you focus on him or not.. Diff gear.. explosive... instantly
And he's only a soph

State playoff game, he fires in to tackle the RB but was so fast he juked and intercepted the pitch

Won't be surprised if he's a WR in college either... expect to see him there at times... playing both ways... but he needs bulk to do that...

Akron (Ohio) Archbishop Hoban blue-chip 2026 defensive back and On3’s No. 1 ranked cornerback in the class, Elbert Hill, is already making arrangements to get out and play 7v7.
He will play with South Florida Express at the Overtime OT7 Regional in Dallas next weekend.

“It’s very big now that I can go and compete with some of the best guys in the country,” Hill said.

With the OH 7on7 rule being overturned, Hill is traveling to test his talents nationally

I missed the rule being overturned. Are we finally on a level playing field with other states and sports?

I posted a link in the main recruiting thread.
But from what I understand, it only pertains to football, because football was the only sport that wasn't allowed to participate in spring/summer 7v7 camps. That's what made the rule such BS. Lacrosse, soccer, baseball, basketball, heck even cheerleading could compete in camps across the country, but football couldn't.

Not actually a whole lot there.

No 1 CB recruit in the nation for 2026. No 1 in OH. No 9 nationwide regardless of position. He has done some training with same trainer few Browns DBs use and has worked the players too, like Ward. Lots of offers and lots of visits upcoming. They probably spent half the article listing which schools have offered him.

I think the only thing new is he is now with South Florida Express, now that Ohio allows it.

The other thing that appears new is that he appears to have hit the weight room hard. I know he just finished his Soph year but he was definitely undersized last season. But the physical development comes along if you put in the work. This kid is exciting, I am loving the talent coming out of Ohio now, especially at DB. Just off the top of my head you have Mathews, West, Scott, Brew, McNutt and now Hill coming up...probably missing some names, but it's nice to see the amount of Ohio talent.

Possible thread jack here, but I wonder how the new 7-on-7 rules will impact how many football players do track in the spring. I'm not sure if Elbert did track before but I did not see his name in any local (Akron) track results.

I think it could go the way of most states, where some football players will focus on playing football all year round, traveling in 7 v 7 tourneys and getting private work in with professionals. And some will enjoy running track or participating in the field drills. And I don't think Elbert has run track.

Hill has been busy in recent weeks, visiting Ohio State, Kentucky, Alabama and Tennessee. Hill also feels that Ohio State, Texas A&M, Oregon, and Michigan are prioritizing him above the rest. Alabama is entering that fold for him as well. Ohio State cornerback Denzel Burke has connected with Hill and has spoken to him about the program. The Ohio native is not planning any significant decisions for at least a year.
