BYU Football Recruiting: 2019 Texas WR Keanu Hill commits to Cougars

BYU added the second WR to its 2019 recruiting class in Texas WR Keanu Hill. Hill announced his commitment via his personal twitter account.

Hill also had an offer from Wyoming and had interest from in-state schools Texas Tech and Texas A&M. He is a two-star recruit according to Rivals and 247 Sports.

At 6’3” 190 pounds, Hill is a big WR who does a nice job of using his size to his advantage. His role at BYU will likely be a guy who quarterbacks look to in the redzone and exploit matchups on the field versus smaller corners.

Hill has gone a bit under-the-radar in recruiting circles, as he plays in a heavily run-oriented offense at Trinity High School (Euless, TX). Playing in that scheme, he led his team with 26 catches for 426 yards as a junior in 2017, good for 16 yards a catch.

Keanu comes from a football family. His father, Lloyd Hill, was a first team All-American WR at Texas Tech in 1992 and later drafted by the Chicago Bears in the 6th round of the 1994 NFL draft; his uncle is former Texas WR and NFL All-Pro WR Roy Williams.

Hill is the 11th commitment of BYU’s 2019 class and joins American Fork WR Chase Roberts as the second WR commit.
