I wasn’t able to find any credible sources indicating that Anthony Hill Jr.—the standout linebacker for the Texas Longhorns—has taken a senior coaching position. All recent coverage confirms that as of now, he is actively playing for Texas in the 2025 college football season, with no transition into coaching reported.
Who Is Anthony Hill Jr.?
- A dynamic linebacker for the Texas Longhorns, returning as a junior for the 2025 season.
- Born February 14, 2005, in Wichita, Kansas, he grew up in Denton, Texas, and attended Billy Ryan High School.
- A former five-star recruit who initially committed to A&M before switching to Texas, Hill made an immediate impact as a freshman and has since become a defensive powerhouse.
What He’s Achieved Recently
- In 2024, Hill led Texas with 113 tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss, 8 sacks, 1 interception, 1 fumble recovery, and 4 forced fumbles over 16 games.
- Earned Second‑Team All‑American honors from multiple outlets and preseason watch list mentions for awards like the Butkus, Bronko Nagurski, and Chuck Bednarik.
- Predicted to be a first-round NFL draft pick, Hill remains focused on accolades like the Butkus, Lombardi, and Nagurski Awards, and helping Texas reach a national title
- His leadership on defense has grown, earning praise from coach Steve Sarkisian for his consistency, communication, and overall impact.
- Media and analysts have him ranked among the top linebackers in the SEC heading into 2025.
So if the idea that he’s become a senior coach came up somewhere, it doesn’t align with any current reality. He’s very much still playing—and excelling—on the field.
