FRISCO, Texas — There have been times five-star safety Daxton Hill has thought about ending his recruitment and committing to a school. And while it hasn’t happened yet, it’s not far off.

“I’ll be making a decision pretty soon,” Hill told BamaOnLine. “Probably late summer or early in the fall, sometime in the season.”

Alabama hosted Hill on his first, and for now only, official visit June 15-17. The Tulsa (Okla.) Booker T. Washington product says he’ll probably get out to Michigan on an official visit late in the summer, if not return to one of the in-state programs in Oklahoma or Oklahoma State.

A late summer timeline would certainly bode well for the Crimson Tide’s efforts if the nation’s No. 1 defensive back decides to make a commitment before taking the rest of his visits.

Defensive backs coach Karl Scott is working to land Hill. In fact, it’s Scott who the five-star prospect says is making the biggest effort for him.

“He’s probably one of the coolest guys I’ve talked to,” Hill said of the first-year Tide assistant who he talks to every day. “He’s new at Bama, so it was good seeing how he works things.”

Hill, the younger brother of Oklahoma State running back Justice Hill, has taken several college visits at this stage in his recruitment. What’s different about Alabama?

“Really just how tough they workout,” he said. “How tougher their schedule is — not like football opponents — just the things they do outside of football and with football. Just how they carry themselves as a whole football program.”

Hill isn’t naming a leader but certainly thinks highly of the Tide.

“They’re up there,” he said. “They’re up there with some other schools.”
