How’d he get to The Blue™?

This 6’7″ giant is yet another testament to our domination of recruiting in the state of Washington. Clearly, players in the Evergreen state love BSU, and I can’t say I mind when we get guys like this. A 3 star recruit, he chose us over Wazzu and several other schools.

Nickname

“Hall The Wall”

Pretty self explanatory for an offensive lineman.

Actor, Jim Parrack, who was in True Blood…I guess? Apparently he was also in the 2016 version of Suicide Squad, but I remember him best from a brief appearance in Fury

Career Highlights

He redshirted in 2022 and only played in two games last season, but you can check out his high school senior season highlights here.

Is he on Twitter?

He does: @schmidt_hall

Completely made up fact

Hall hit his growth spurt early, so his first job was at a grocery store as the “Get things off the top shelf for old ladies” guy. He also doubled as the entire loss prevention department.
