I’ll tell you this: Hill has a great shot at improving his wide receiver ranking (no inside information, just a gut feeling). He gave St. Frances Academy a lot of problems running routes out of the slot. He caught two touchdowns and a few other key catches, including a 40-plus-yard reception that put the STJ deep in Panthers territory late in the game (which eventually led to his second touchdown catch). Hill’s shiftiness and savvy route running gave SFA trouble at critical points.

Hill caught the third-quarter touchdown that cut the deficit to three points. Later, he took a flat pass, made a defender miss, and turned it into a 40-plus-yard gain that moved the offense deep into St. Frances territory. Hill closed the scoring with a 7-yard touchdown reception, pushing the lead to 28-17. His ability to create yards after the catch on short throws repeatedly extended drives when the running game was limited. Hill operated from the slot and proved to be a hard cover on crossing routes.

After day 1 at the Duel in the DMV we were ready to anoint Vinnie Hill Vinnie Hill 6'0" | 165 lbs | WR/DB Saint James Academy | 2027 State VA the MVP honors he was that good for the Get Back Gang. Hill’s ascension since before last fall has been documented and he should jump up over 10 division 1 offers soon. He was virtually unstoppable and nearly lead his squad to the finals. At 7v7s what is more impressive to me is not when a receiver gets open but what they are able to do with the ball after. Many different reps Vinnie was covered but you still saw him spring free for extra yards and even a couple of scores. His speed and stride are game changing, ranking him 84th overall does not do him justice. Since the event he has picked up two more offers and has many suitors coming.

Vinnie finally cracked the Top 100 in this update. He is a very good athlete with very good acceleration, quickness, and speed. Very good release into his routes and separation quickness at the top of his route, with very good change of direction and acceleration allowing him to win with his athleticism. Shows elusiveness and strength as a runner in YAC. Also is a good Safety on defense. Finished 2025 with 52 Rec, 806 Rec Yds, 1,200 Total Yards, and 17 TDs. My colleague Carl has been high on him for a while.
