"............Heading into decision day for Hill, the Longhorns seem like the favorite. Texas safety commit Jamile Johnson said at the Semper Fi All-American Bowl that Hill told him that the Horns will Hill's
No. 1 choice at the time. Former high school teammate John Bonney is also playing his college football in Austin and Hill said last summer that the two
have a good relationship that dates back years.
.....
What will one of those three schools be getting in Hill? Considered a consensus four-star prospect, Hill is the No. 69 player nationally, the No. 8 cornerback, and the No. 9 player in Texas. He also held offers from the likes of Alabama, Arkansas, Baylor, California, Colorado, Florida State, Houston, Maryland, Michigan State, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, SMU, TCU, and Wake Forest, among others.
At the Houston NFTC in early April of 2014, Hill gave evidence of his physical skills, measuring in at a true 6'2, running a respectable 4.24 shuttle and ripping off a 35.8-inch vertical leap. He previously ran a 4.56 40 at another Nike event, excellent but certainly not elite speed for his position.
Likely a boundary corner at the next level, Hill won't give up much height even to the tallest wide receivers and benefits from being able to jam opponents at the line of scrimmage to disrupt their release -- asking him to defend smaller, quicker receivers from the slot in man-to-man coverage just doesn't play to his strengths.
He has some ability to play in zone coverage and to drive off his back foot and show the short-area quickness suggested by his shuttle time, with his instincts for recognizing routes also a strength.
