Player BioHall took a reserve role as a true freshman in 2016 (one tackle in seven games) before becoming a stalwart on special teams and defense for the Cowboys. He was named honorable mention All-Mountain West as a sophomore returner, scoring twice on kick returns (15-508-33.9) while also contributing as a five-game starter at corner (30 tackles, two interceptions, four other pass breakups, two forced fumbles in 13 contests). He garnered honorable mention honors as a defensive back as a junior (39 tackles, 2.5 for loss, one interception, nine pass breakups) and senior (37 tackles, one interception, which he returned for a score, and eight pass breakups).
AnalysisBy Lance Zierlein
NFL Analyst
OverviewDespite playing outside cornerback in two of his last three years as a starter, Hall will clearly be viewed as a slot corner due to his lack of height and length. He struggles with recovery burst when asked to flip his hips and run, but does flash a twitchy downhill trigger when allowed to keep throws in front of him. He gets lost with his back to the ball and will struggle to phase and shadow NFL route runners. He lacks strength and toughness in run support but his kick-return talent is a plus in his favor.
