Reminder: Ohio State football’s top in-state edge rusher target Justin Hill commits on Wednesday

There might be some fireworks for Ohio State football a bit early this year as the 4th of July approaches.

In-state edge rusher Justin Hill will make his commitment a day before Independence Day, as he will choose from three Big Ten schools (USC, Oregon and the Buckeyes) along with Alabama.

The Winton Woods star stands 6-foot, 3-inches and weighs 220-pounds is being recruited as a potential Jack for Ohio State. Defensive coordinator Jim Knowles abandoned his hybrid position this past fall, partially due to not having the personnel to play there.

Hill, the nation’s No. 72 overall prospect and 7th edge according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, is the perfect fit for the Jack position.

Hill has visited each of his final four schools, as his decision date gets closer and closer. Hopefully his visit to Columbus left a lasting impression.
