Billy Napier’s work in Bradenton continues as another IMG Academy recruit has Florida in their top five. This time it’s four-star linebacker [autotag]Jordan Hall[/autotag] who has narrowed things down to UF, Michigan, Michigan State, North Carolina and Notre Dame.
Florida is the only program from the Southeastern Conference to make the cut and has the local advantage of being in the same state as IMG, but Hall is a Virginia kid and seems comfortable wherever he needs to be to further his playing career. That said, it helps to be able to pop up to Gainesville on a whim compared to booking a flight to Lansing or Ann Arbor.
“I’ve been up there (Florida) three times just this year alone,” Hall said to 247Sports. “The coaching staff they really show love to me and they’ve done a great job recruiting me since they got up there. I want to get up there and get my family up there this weekend and we’re looking forward to a great time.”

After visiting Florida over the weekend, Michigan State gets Hall over the weekend of June 10 and Michigan hosts him on a mid-week visit on June 14. Notre Dame is the following weekend on June 17, and North Carolina gets the final official visit a week later on June 24. That’s a packed month.
Florida is close, so there’s a good chance coaches will check in on him after the road trip, and then it’s time for Hall to make a decision. The 247Sports composite ranks Hall as the No. 153 overall recruit in the class of 2023 and the No. 10 linebacker.
