ANTHONY HILL JR.
Next, we head down south to Texas where Ohio State has been tearing it up on the recruiting trail of late after landing five-stars Quinn Ewers and Caleb Burton – putting the Buckeyes' total to six five-star commitments since 2017, which is more than the in-state Longhorns (four) during that time span.
Anthony Hill Jr., a 6-foot-2, 220-pounder, comes out of powerhouse Ryan High School in Denton, a place the Buckeyes are familiar with after having dished out recent offers to Ja'Tavion Sanders (2021) and Austin Jordan (2022) in the past two cycles.
Perhaps Hill won't wind up making it to five-star status, but right now he's a high-end four star who's ranked No. 67 overall and No. 3 at inside linebacker in America. With the way Al Washington has been recruiting the position in the 2022 class – yes, I know all three current commits are either in-state guys or have strong Ohio ties, but the talent he's accumulated is still impressive – it's surely leaving a mark on Hill.
Hill has also been offered by Alabama, Baylor, Florida, LSU, Oklahoma, Penn State, Texas, Texas A&M and USC.
