Listed at 5-foot-11, 190 pounds, Hill is an unranked recruit in the class of 2026 according to 247Sports. He was offered by Minnesota on May 9 and his official visit with the Gophers on May 30 to June 1 will be the first of four scheduled before stops at USF, NC State and Duke.

We're now less than a week away from Minnesota's first of two Summer Splash recruiting weekends. Hill joins a talented crop of safety prospects alongside Jayden McGregory, Messiah Tilson and Jamarcus Jones.
