Breaking News: Alabama Secures Top Midwest Recruit for 2025, Solidifying Its Place as SEC Powerhouse
In the 2025 recruiting cycle, Alabama has secured a top recruit from the Midwest. Four-star outside linebacker Justin Hill announced his commitment to the Tide over Ohio State, Oregon, and USC. This marks the 22nd commitment for Alabama in the current recruiting class, placing them in contention for the number one class in the nation. Coach Kalen DeBoer’s recruiting efforts show no signs of slowing down, posing a threat to the rest of the SEC.
Justin Hill’s commitment is significant for Alabama on several levels. The Tide was able to beat out other powerhouse programs for his pledge and also successfully secured a key player for their defensive lineup. The battle with in-state rival Ohio State was particularly fierce, but ultimately Hill was won over by the vision presented to him by the Tide’s defensive coordinator and linebackers coach.
At 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, Hill possesses the size and agility needed to excel as an outside linebacker in college football. His quick first step off the line and impressive speed make him a valuable asset in both pass rush and coverage situations. His athletic ability, evidenced by his track times, combined with his potential for further development in college, position him as a player with the potential to make a significant impact in the SEC.
