Hill, a standout linebacker for Texas, has made significant strides in his freshman year. In this video, we delve into a comprehensive film study to understand his techniques, strengths, and areas for improvement. We’ll explore his pass rush, run stopping, and pass coverage abilities.
One of the key aspects of Hill’s game is his pass rush ability. In a notable matchup against Alabama, Hill faced Kadyn Proctor. The film reveals Hill’s use of a classic speed rush, where he maintains outside containment to prevent the quarterback from escaping the pocket.
In another play against Alabama, Hill showcases his ability to execute a controlled pass rush. Tasked with containing mobile quarterback Jalen Milroe, Hill employs a “safe rush,” advancing just a few yards into the backfield and waiting for the quarterback to make a move. This strategic patience pays off as Hill successfully contains and sacks Milroe, demonstrating his disciplined approach.
Hill’s ability to stop the run is another crucial aspect of his game. Against Oklahoma, Hill demonstrates exceptional patience and discipline. As the highlighted play develops, he reads his keys accurately, maintaining his position and not overcommitting. This allows him to effectively contain the outside run, making a critical tackle and showcasing his ability to stay calm under pressure.
Pass coverage is often considered the weakest part of Hill’s game, but he shows significant potential. His fluid movements and ability to maintain depth make him a formidable presence in zone coverage.
As he continues to refine his techniques and gain experience, Hill is poised to become a key player for Texas, with the possibility of a future in professional football. His disciplined approach, athleticism, and ability to read the game make him a standout talent worth watching in the coming seasons.
