Jeremiah Hall Oklahoma Sooners

One-Liner:

H-Back at the next level, who doesn’t have enough high-level traits to be anything more than a rotational player.

Pros:

In terms of his NFL projection, Hall will have a lot of versatility. He plays mostly as either an extra or primary tight end in Oklahoma’s offense off the line of scrimmage. He’ll also be able to play as an H-back or fullback at the next level. Hall is a very technically sound blocker. He is really smooth in that regard and is never off-balance. When asked to block in space and get to the next level, Hall is very impressive. He is athletic and smart enough to be able to find a linebacker or safety and latch onto them. Hall will get inside of their armpits and redirect them. When it comes to catching passes, Hall is very reliable. Hall isn’t asked to do a ton as a receiver, but when put in that position, he just does his job.

Cons:

The size just isn’t there with Hall. He doesn’t necessarily look small on the field, but his lack of high-end measurables shows up. He does a good enough job as a blocker, but he can’t drive defenders backward, especially at the line of scrimmage. He can get blown off the ball by a bigger player, and if his technique isn’t perfect. Hall will need to improve his play strength but based on his frame; he might be maxed out. His speed is nothing special. He won’t be able to create a lot of separation at the next level, relegating him to more of a check-down role for an NFL team.

Summary:

At the next level, Hall's best projection is as an H-back. Hall fits the profile, as he is 6’2” 248 pounds. He is very technically sound as a blocker and consistently does his job in that regard. He can be a solid check-down target for a quarterback. Hall doesn’t have a special trait. He is solid at most things, but he will need to add play strength to handle bigger defenders at the next level. If his frame is filled out, that could be a problem. Hall can come in as a back-end of the roster player and in the right situation, be a rotational player.
