We got an exciting one here, folks! Last night, after researching and going through rosters of the various NSIC schools for our <em>PrepRedzoneMN </em>featured series breaking down the Minnesota commits in each class, I stumbled upon something big. In a surprise and under the radar transfer, former <em>Winona Daily News </em>Player of the Year and AP/MN Vikings All-State team member <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="2110" first="Terrell" last="Hall"] </strong>has apparently left the powerhouse North Dakota State Bison and is now playing for the DII national runner-up Minnesota State-Mankato Mavericks. It was both a shocking and intriguing find, as in my mind the former <em>Winhawks </em>standout was basically a lock to eventually become a contributor for the Bison after he wrapped-up his more than impressive prep career in 2019. <strong>Hall </strong>started three years for <em>Winona </em>and lettered four times in his high school career that saw him help the <em>Winhawks </em>to a 39-6 overall record and three state playoff appearances in his tenure. Twice named All-District and once District Special Teams Player of the Year, <strong>Hall </strong>holds the <em>Winona </em>school record with 99 career receptions and also finished with a more than impressive 3,392 career all-purpose yards and 27 TDs to go along with 85 tackles, 11 interceptions, and three pick-sixes.

His high school highlight tape is a ridiculous mix of big plays, long TDs, and wanna-be tacklers being absolutely embarrassed by the shifty and explosive former <em>Winhawks </em>#4. With his obvious athleticism and NDSU’s ability to convert Minnesota offensive studs to find glory in their defensive backfield, it really is a surprise that <strong>Hall </strong>transferred down to the DII level, but it’s a gigantic pickup for the Mavericks and <strong>Hall </strong>will still be able to play college football at a very high level. The 5’11, 190 lber. is listed as a CB and wearing number 27 for MSU, and after retaining his redshirt from plying in one game and recording one tackle last fall, he still has four years of eligibility remaining. Keep your eyes peeled for the <em>Winona </em>All-Stater this upcoming season in the NSIC! <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/5354571/5bc87d2e6e8c6406c4fcd9ec">vs. Austin HS</a> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/5354571/5bc22b61478ce213387f3979">vs. Red Wing</a> <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/5354571/5ba5c71042066704bc6dff0c">vs. Mankato West</a>
