Hall picked LSU over offers from Alabama, Ole Miss, Florida State, Georgia, Texas and Texas A&M, among others. According to 247Sports’ Composite rankings, he is the No. 53 overall prospect, the No. 6 safety and No. 5 player in Louisiana.

Hall becomes the second player from Edna Karr in the Tigers’ 2026 recruiting class, joining defensive tackle Richard Anderson‍. The rest of the LSU class also has a heavy New Orleans theme, as offensive lineman Jalan Chapman (Warren Easton) and safety Jakai Anderson (McDonogh 35) also hail from the city. The class currently ranks No. 5 in 2026, per 247 Sports. Richard Anderson was the first player in the class, committing in June.

As a sophomore in 2023, the 6-foot, 180-pound safety also played snaps at nickel and helped Edna Karr to a 10-2 record and the Louisiana Division I Select state semifinals.
