INDIANAPOLIS – One of Purdue Football’s projected offensive tackles in the 2025 class decommitted on Monday night.

Hammond Morton receiver Lebron Hill announced on social media that he is retiring from the service. The three-star top-1,000 prospect switched his commitment from Louisville to the Boilermakers on June 25.

Morton said his recruitment is “100% open.”

Initiate: Why did Ryan Walters fire his offensive coordinator and why now?

“After lengthy conversations with my family and coaches, I have decided to leave Purdue University,” Hill wrote. “It wasn’t an easy decision. I love all the staff; I really felt at home. I just want to personally thank Purdue for everything they have done.”

Hill’s decision comes after Purdue’s rocky start to the season. Boilermakers coach Ryan Walters fired offensive coordinator Graham Harrell on Sunday after three straight losses.

Hill, a 6-4, 180-pound prospect, had 564 yards and eight touchdowns on 34 receptions last season. In five games this season, he has 366 yards and two touchdowns on 24 receptions. He averaged 24.5 receiving yards early in the game.

Hill was the only receiver in Purdue’s 2025 class, which currently has 12 known commits. According to 247Sports, this group ranks 62nd in the country and 17th among Big Ten teams.
