About Hilliard Updated Jun 14, 2026

Physical Texas A&M linebacker with proven district MVP upside

Hilliard is a **6-2, 215-pound outside linebacker** whose calling card is production and toughness: in high school he posted **143 tackles, 110 solo, 3 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles**, earning first-team all-district and defensive MVP honors. He also dealt with a **season-ending injury** in his Texas A&M career, so his value hinges on durability as much as instincts and range. If you want a linebacker with proven tackling volume, edge energy, and a resume that suggests competitive grit, he’s worth a close look as a fit for a physical defensive front.
