It’s been a big weekend for 2025 Ohio edge rusher Justin Hill.
He has been trending on social media after bulldozing Notre Dame offensive tackle commitment Owen Strebig, showing that he is one of the most impressive players at his position in the country.
Hill’s ranking back that up, as the 247Sports Composite Rankings has him as the No. 126 overall prospect and 13th overall edge rusher in the country. On Sunday he trimmed his list to just four schools: Alabama, Oregon, USC and Ohio State.
As a priority in-state prospect, the Buckeyes moving on in Hill’s recruitment is important. They’ll battle two of the Big Ten’s newest teams along with the SEC power Crimson Tide.
Coveted 4-star EDGE Justin Hill is down to Ohio State, USC, Oregon and Alabama, he tells @ByKyleKelly‼️
The No. 52 prospect in the On300 also has a decision date in mind👀

Expect Ohio State to continue to press hard for Hill’s commitment over the next few months.
