Justin Terrell Hall (born January 29, 1999) is an American professional football wide receiver for the Houston Roughnecks of the United Football League (UFL). He played college football for the Ball State Cardinals.[1]

Early life and high school

[edit]

Born in Douglasville, Georgia, Hall began playing football at Alexander High School and then committed to play college football at Ball State University.[2]

College career

[edit]

In his first season, he was first among freshmen in receiving yards (801) and with 78 receptions he was 10th nationally, collecting at least five receptions in nine of his 12 games.[3]

For both the 2019 and 2020 seasons, Hall was recognized as one of the best players in the conference and named to the first-team All-Mid-American Conference,[4][5] in 2020 as both a wide receiver and kick returner. In the game on December 20, 2020, Hall contributed to the 38–28 victory against the Buffalo Bulls, scoring the touchdown in the momentary 21–21 tie, which earned the Cardinals the title of conference champions, the first since 1996.[6]

In 2021, Hall took advantage of the opportunity offered to extend his college football eligibility by a year, given the limitations on leagues due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020,[7] then playing another season with the Cardinals.

Hall set school records for number of receptions (318), yards received (3,385) and yards gained in total (5,359).[8] On January 3, 2022, Hall declared himself eligible for the 2022 NFL draft.[9]
