Overview
- Hill, a 2027 offensive tackle from West Hills (Chaminade) in California, switched his pledge to Notre Dame on Thursday following an in-person offer during a campus visit and a later call from head coach Marcus Freeman.
- Rivals rates him a high three-star with an 88 grade, and he measures 6-foot-6.5 and 300 pounds with an 84-inch wingspan.
- He said he is betting on his development under offensive line coach Joe Rudolph and pointed to Notre Dame's steady run of NFL-drafted linemen as the draw.
- He joins a 2027 Notre Dame class ranked No. 8 by Rivals, which already includes five-star tackle Oluwasemilore Olubobola and four-star linemen James Halter and Richie Flanigan.
- Hill had been committed to UCLA since April 4 and called the decision difficult, praising the Bruins' coaches even as Notre Dame's staff convinced him he could earn a role in South Bend over time.
