Hall is one of three quarterbacks featured on the National team and is the sole HBCU representative in the Collegiate Bowl. His senior season ended with 4,152 passing yards, a CIAA championship, a NCAA D2 home playoff win and the most successful season in his school’s history. He won his second consecutive HBCU National Player of The Year award and he was one of the top-five passers in college football for the 2018-2019 season.
