Lenard Hill brings size, versatility, and upside to South Dakota’s linebacker room
Lenard Hill is a long, physical linebacker prospect for South Dakota, listed at 6-foot-3 and 196 pounds in the 2022 signing class and later appearing at 6-foot-4, 230 pounds in player bios, suggesting major development since arriving on campus. He is the kind of defender whose value goes beyond box-score tackles: length, frame growth, and special-teams-ready toughness make him intriguing in a Missouri Valley room that demands physicality. If you want a linebacker with upside rather than just a finished product, Hill is worth a serious look.
