4-star DL sets decision date during early signing period, Florida in top 4
Four-star Westside (Jacksonville, Florida) defensive lineman Jordan Hall knows where he’ll be playing college ball, but he’s not announcing his decision until Dec. 22, according to On3.
Hall has narrowed things down to four programs publicly: Florida, Alabama, Georgia and LSU. He’s already locked in with one of those teams but will be holding out until the early signing period kicks off to let the world know. The timing of this decision might hint at Georgia being out of the race — the Bulldogs will get his final official visit over the Dec. 9 weekend — but UGA currently leads the On3 recruiting prediction machine with an overwhelming 85.6% chance to land Hall.
Florida appears to be the next best-positioned team to earn a commitment after hosting Hall nearly 10 times over the past year and a half. Most recently, the Gators got Hall on campus for an official visit the weekend of Dec. 2. That trip coincides with Hall’s declaration of being decided, but things are too up in the air for Florida to head into the early signing period confidently on this one.
Still, whichever team has secured a pledge from Hall, has earned all of his respect.
“It feels like home there. I feel like I can grow, be myself, and not have to worry about too much,” he said. “I don’t have to be ‘Big Baby.’ I’m just Jordan there. I feel I can grow and develop. On the D-line there, with the coaches, I feel like I’ll be one of the guys to be a first-round pick honestly.”
Wherever Hall lands, Florida will have to scheme for him in the near future. He’s an SEC talent that’s wanted by the very best. Beating Georgia out for him would be a significant win for Billy Napier and Co.
Hall is the No. 58 overall prospect in the class of 2023 regardless of position, according to the On3 consensus. He ranks seventh among defensive linemen in the class and 13th in the state Florida. On3’s individual rankings are even more bullish on Hall, ranking him at No. 29 nationally and No.4 among those at his position.
