Hall possesses a vertical that would make most basketball players jealous as he routinely mossed defenders each week. In the screen game, he does a great job following his blockers and making defenders miss. His quick feet make him hard to track down, and once he sees a lane, he's gone. As a safety, Hall controls the back end and stuffs the run at a high level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='406885' first='Jacob' last='Sersansie'] || ATH || 6'1 || 190 || Pine View High School || 2023 </strong><br>Sersansie loves contact and embraces it on both sides of the ball.
