Alabama’s hot streak on the recruiting trail continues as the Crimson Tide landed another top target on Sunday, this time in Xavier Hill.

The three-star guard from Olive Branch (Miss.) chose Alabama over LSU, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Texas A&M, among others, following an official visit to the Capstone over the weekend.

“My parents really think Bama is my best bet of getting developed and stuff like that, my biggest chance of achieving my goals,” Hill said of what went into his decision. After they told me that I got to thinking. I met with Coach (Nick) Saban after that, and Coach (Kyle) Flood. After my meeting with Coach Saban something just clicked.

“He was really just telling me how much he believed in me as a player and what he thinks I can be under his program.”

It comes as no surprise that Hill’s official visit, which coincided with the Champions Cookout, went well.

“I got to build relationships with some of the the other coaches I haven’t talked to a lot,” he said. “Me and Coach Sark (Steve (Sarkisian) got to talk a lot this weekend, me and Coach (Brian) Baker got to connect more, so it was just more connections.”

Baker is Hill’s primary recruiter, and is credited with landing the 6-foot-3, 325-pounder.

Tide freshman offensive lineman Pierce Quick hosted Hill this weekend.

“I asked Pierce about the coaches and the workouts,” Hill said. “He was telling me everything I wanted to know. He was telling me how much he loved the program.”

Hill says he’s also built a friendship with fellow Tide offensive line commitment Seth McLaughlin.

As for what’s next, Hill says he told Mississippi State he would take an official visit to the Starkville, so he says he will still likely follow through with that. He’s used the rest of his allotted visits over the course of the last month to Baton Rouge, College Station and Knoxville.

Hill is rated the No. 27 guard and the No. 469 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings.

The Tide now sits with three offensive linemen in its 2020 class with Hill on board. Texas product Damieon George and the aforementioned Seth McLaughlin make up the others two.

Alabama had a lot of success in the state of Mississippi in the 2020 cycle landing guys like four-star defensive back Brandon Turnage out of Oxford and four-star defensive tackle Byron Young, both top Ole Miss and Mississippi State targets. Outside of Hill, the Tide has its eyes set on another prospect in the Magnolia State -- four-star defensive tackle McKinnley Jackson.
