It is no secret that the safety struggled a lot this past season, as the combination of Jett Elad and Kaj Sanders gave up a total of 40 receptions for 669 yards and seven touchdowns. According to PFF, Elad was ranked No. 187 and Sanders was ranked No. 311 out of 314 qualifying safeties in all of FBS this past season. Needless to say the room needed some changes.
Before arriving at Rutgers ahead of the 2025 season, Hall spent one year at Penn State as an analyst and three seasons at Ball State as cornerbacks and then defensive backs coach. Prior to that, he spent time at Hampton, Howard, and Western Illinois.
A search for a new safeties coach is expected to begin immediately.
