[autotag]Derick Hall[/autotag] is an NFL draft prospect for 2023. So far this season, he’s certainly been playing like it.
According to PFF college, Hall currently leads the NCAA in quarterback pressures with 14. That’s one more than Washington’s Bralen Trice and UCLA’s Grayson Murphy, who both clock in with 13 pressures each.
Hall has racked up 10 total tackles and converted one of those pressures into a sack two games into 2022 against the FCS’ Mercer Bears and the Sun Belt’s San Jose Spartans. He’ll get a true test of his pass-rushing prowess this Saturday, though, when he faces off against Penn State’s offensive line in an attempt to go after Nittany Lions quarterback Sean Clifford.
Last year, Hall netted nine sacks and 52 total tackles with two forced fumbles. He’ll look to improve on those numbers for 2022, especially since multiple NFL teams will be paying attention as the year progresses and he has steadily improved his statistics throughout his tenure as a Tiger.
