The former Richwoods all-state running back spent the last few weeks of training camp with the New York Jets, but said he was released before the team’s preseason game Saturday.

Hall said he is still looking to catch on with another NFL team as he works toward his medical degree.
The 6-foot, 200-pound running back joined the Jets rookie minicamp as an undrafted free agent and then said he was brought back in July. Last year, he was a member of the Tennessee Titans during OTAs and minicamp.
Hall declared for the 2023 NFL Draft following three seasons at NAIA St. Ambrose where he rushed for 1,198 yards and nine touchdowns in 27 career games. He began his college career at the University of Indianapolis.
During his senior season at Richwoods in 2017, Hall set an all-class playoff rushing record with 427 yards in beating Morton, 49-28. He rushed 48 times and scored five TDs in the Class 5A second-round victory, finishing with 2,085 yards and 22 TDs in 12 games as the Big 12 offensive player of the year and all-area team member.
