All-State WR Jake Hill Commits to BYU as PWO

BYU continues to add to its 2023 recruiting class before Wednesday's signing day. On Monday, Snow Canyon High School product Jake Hill committed to Kalani Sitake and the BYU football program. Hill chose to walk on at BYU over scholarship offers from Utah State and SUU.

"Excited to announce I’m 100% COMMITTED to BYU!! I’m grateful to my Heavenly Father for blessing me with this opportunity. Thankful for my coaches, family and friends and their support. Thanks for believing in me." - Jake Hill

Hill is a 6'3 wide receiver prospect that was named to the 4A first-team all state in by the Deseret News. He is also a track star. Last year, he clocked a 10.95 100 M dash. Hill's size, speed, and ability to high-point the football make him an intriguing addition to BYU's roster, especially as a preferred walk-on.

The preferred walk-on program has played an important role at BYU during the Kalani Sitake era. Various BYU starters began their careers as walk-ons, and former walk-ons Tyler Allgeier and Dax Milne even turned into NFL Draft picks. It's unfair to expect all walk-ons to turn into starting-caliber players, but BYU has proven that they can find one or two walk-ons every class that turn into contributors. Through the PWO program, BYU is able to recruit every roster spot, not just scholarship players. Over time, that has elevated BYU's depth across the board.

Stay tuned for more recruiting updates as we approach national signing day.
