Another returning starter for the Indians’ receiving corps, Rylan Hilton Rylan Hilton 5'10" | 165 lbs | WR/DB Indianola | 2027 State IA brings plenty for the offense to be excited about, but once again, the question will remain to be answered will he be able to stay healthy the entire season. Hilton caught 14 passes for 188 yards and 4 TDs in 2025 despite only 14 total quarters of play. Hilton shows outstanding athleticism for his size, and he’s already proven over the offseason that his injury has not slowed down his performance, having been a stud at the South Dakota State prospect camp, which earned him multiple D2 offers before ultimately committing to play at Sioux Falls. Hilton will look to stay healthy in 2026 and drive Indianola’s offense to greater heights.

One of the more effective route runners and separators that PRZ has seen all summer. Indianola’s Rylan Hilton Rylan Hilton 5'10" | 165 lbs | WR/DB Indianola | 2027 State IA is a no-doubt matchup nightmare from both the slot and the perimeter, and the under-the-radar rising senior was as comfortable with the route tree as he was athletic and eye-catching during testing. At 5’9, 170 lbs., Hilton popped off a 4.46 40, 4.31 pro, and 9’8 broad jump, excellent numbers up there with the best of the best at the camp, and he transitioned smoothly and terrifyingly effectively (from a DB’s perspective) to 1v1 competition. The burner could win vertically seemingly at will, was smoothly and consistently creating separation and stacking DBs, and was twitchy, tough, and consistently winning reps against any and all competitors the SDSU prospect camp had to offer. Tough & scrappy yes, but Hilton was a very polished and effective route runner against a strong and diverse DB group in Brookings. This potential breakout star earned offers from Wayne State, Southwest Minnesota State, and Sioux Falls thanks to his camp performance with the Jackrabbits. Hilton just announced his commitment to Sioux Falls today to play D2 football in the Northern Sun. Congrats, Rylan! This is what the Summer Camp SZN is all about.

As a sophomore in 2025, Hilton paced Indianola in receptions (22), receiving yards (399) and touchdown receptions (4). He also averaged 22.3 yards on 10 kick returns. Hilton’s sophomore highlight video reveals is a technician from the slot. He runs precise routes and shows impressive quickness. He’s shifty in space and also can outrun defenders. Hilton also operates well on the outside with the capability to stretch the field.
