Akron, Ohio — On Dec. 30, junior Elbert “Rock” Hill IV was honored when Cleveland Browns wide receiver James Proche and cornerback Tony Brown announced he had been selected to represent the Browns during Super Bowl LIX week. Hill earned his spot through Nike’s “The Next Ones” program, which allows each NFL team to select one recruit to wear their team’s name and colors. Participants gain exclusive access to events during Super Bowl week and the opportunity to compete in a skills challenge against the nation’s top recruits. “I want to thank Hoban and Hoban Football for putting me in the position to be selected,” Hill said. This year, Hill achieved the rank of five-star recruit and was named the nation’s top cornerback in the class of 2026, making this latest recognition another addition to his growing list of accolades. The Visor congratulates Hill on this remarkable accomplishment and looks forward to seeing him continue to make Hoban proud.
