According to the 247sports Composite rankings, Hill is the 27th ranked guard in the nation and the ninth best player in the state of Mississippi. The 6-foot-3, 325 pound lineman had been committed to the Crimson Tide since June 23rd.

Hill told Rivals that rejoining the Crimson Tide was a possibility, but that he has three other SEC schools in the mix, LSU, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State.

"I am focusing on what I need for myself and taking it slower," Hill told Rivals.com. "I just needed to clear my head and not rush into a decision. I am going to look for the school that fits me. It could be Alabama again, but I have to make sure."
