The No.1 Athlete in the New Jersey 2030 class, via Prep Redzone Next as of August 2026.

One of the best pure athletes I’ve seen in New Jersey in the last decade coming out of New Jersey. A Jersey Shore AYF Conference All-Star in 2025 follow his 8th grade season with the Shore Blue Devils, Hill will begin his high school career at St. Peter’s Prep in Jersey City as a starting Safety. He gets the nod here as the No.1 Athlete because he has elite ability to play Wide Receiver and could run the ball if needed. Furthermore, he enters high school at 6’1″, 175 pounds with outstanding length and is no stranger to the weight room. If he were to pack on enough weight, I wouldn’t think twice if he became an Outside Linebacker. The upside is huge, his athletic ability is even greater at this point.

Different; That’s the only word that comes to mind when describing 2030 ATH Kingston Hill Kingston Hill 6'1" | 175 lbs | ATH St. Peter’s Prep | 2030 State NJ . In my mind, there is a real shot for Hill to be ranked the No.1 prospect in the state of New Jersey for this 2030 class as of July 2026. An exceptional athlete who dominates in both basketball and football. Hill was registered for The Rize 2026 but ultimately wasn’t able to attend due to his services being needed on the varsity level as an incoming freshman. With offers from Memphis and Syracuse already under his belt, Hill appears to be a day-one starter for St. Peter’s Prep. He’s going to be a special one.

Kingston Hill Kingston Hill 6'1" | 175 lbs | ATH St. Peter’s Prep | 2030 State NJ is a a wide receiver I am very familiar with at this point. The first time I ever saw Kingston it was at the AYF All Star tryouts. His name wasn’t on the initial signup list, but he was putting on such a show that I had to ask him for his name. From there, I most recently saw Kingston at the PA Classic 7v7 and might I say, he did not disappoint.

Kingston has all of the attributes coaches look for in a true WR1. A strong handed receiver that has a knack for winning the battle for the ball in air, Kingston is a reliable target that every QB favors throwing to. On top of that, Kingston has proved himself to be an explosive route runner that can shake off defenders trailing him. He is the full package.

Kingston Hill is one of those athletes to see out of New Jersey’s 2030 class. He is a playmaker and that is one reason he is getting this awesome opportunity to compete at this summer’s “RIZE” event in New Jersey. He is a guy who can really make plays, and he finds ways to do it. He is one to jot down and watch close at this one!

Kingston Hill Kingston Hill 6'1" | 175 lbs | ATH St. Peter’s Prep | 2030 State NJ once again impressed with what he did on the field. Just like last fall at the All Star try outs, Kingston’s play on the field demanded your attention; he was making plays all over the field regardless of whether he lined up on offense or defense. Lining up out wide, Kingston made a phenomenal, competitive catch for a score, using his hand eye skills and strong hands to yank it away from the defender. Throughout the tournament Kingston caught every ball that was thrown his way. On defense, Kingston lined up at safety and played with a high IQ. He kept the play in front of him at all times and showed great lateral speed anytime a receiver ran across the middle.

The second receiver I saw at the All Star tryouts was another familiar name in Kingston Hill Kingston Hill 6'1" | 175 lbs | ATH St. Peter’s Prep | 2030 State NJ , and he brings a completely different style to the position. Kingston is a big, physical target who thrives in contested catch situations and plays with an aggressive edge. Looking back through my notes from September, the word “athlete” shows up repeatedly, and for good reason. He has the versatility to impact the game not only as a receiver, but also projects well on defense as a defensive back or linebacker, and even in the backfield if asked. What stood out most was how quickly he could fire his feet at the line of scrimmage, using that suddenness to shake defenders early and create clean throwing windows for his quarterback. There is big upside in Kingston’s game.

Kingston Hill is a towering wideout who dominates the offensive perimeter, using his length and elite leap to outjump defenders for contested catches. Once the ball is in his hands, his speed kicks in. Kingston can burst away from coverage and turns routine grabs into runway takeoffs. What separates him is the vision and dance moves in space: a massive jump cut leaves pursuers on the ground, while he carves the path of least resistance through traffic.

Coaches deploy him masterfully, not just bombing go routes but cashing in YAC on slants, curls, and screens. He explodes off the line for instant separation, then widens the gap with crisp breaks that torch DBs. The ceiling on this kid is sky high; every snap screams future Friday night nightmares for opposing teams.
