Hiller is rated as a consensus four-star across multiple sites, and is ranked as the No. 34 prospect in the class of 2027 according to 247sports. He has great speed for his size at 6'5" 300 lbs. He showcases this on the gridiron, as well as on the hardwood.
Believe it or not the highly-recruited offensive lineman, is an outstanding basketball player. With all the D-1 offers he has in football he also has one to play basketball at the D-1 level. On June 20 Hiller announced that he received an offer to play basketball at La Salle University.

This is the type of skill set that opens any college coaches' eyes up. Many basketball players who have not touched a football are recruited out of college to try to transition to being professional football players. Coaches see the footwork they posses at their size on the basketball court and think they can apply that to football. Hiller has the same traits of those players coaches hope to turn into good football players, but he instead has played football for a long time.
The junior at Coatesville Area High School has as good of football technique as any offensive line recruit. He showed that at the Future 50 as being listed as the MVP of the event.

Hiller has a ton of great options, and a long timeline before he has to make an official decision. If Penn State were able to land him, in a few years he could be looked as the crown jewel of their 2027 recruiting class.
