Hall, a 6-foot-6, 300-pound prospect out of Austin, Texas, is considered the No. 799 overall prospect and No. 73 offensive tackle in the latest 247Sports Composite Rankings. Rivals lists him as a 5.6 three-star prospect and the No. 65 offensive tackle in the rising senior class.

The three-star prospect took an unofficial visit to Lexington the first week of June after earning a scholarship offer from the program back in October of 2020. It was just the second Division I offer for the standout lineman at the time, with Akron being the first.

He followed it up with an official visit to the school this weekend.

The newest Kentucky commitment is the son of former UK standout Antonio Hall, who earned Freshman All-America honors in 2000 and All-SEC honors in 2002 and 2003. According to the 247Sports Composite, Hall remains UK’s highest-ranked signee in the internet era, ahead of Micah Johnson and Justin Rogers as the No. 12 player in the class of 2000.

Now, the former Kentucky star’s son will follow in his father’s footsteps and join the UK football program in 2022.

Welcome to the family.
