Billy Napier has made a point of targeting in-state talent early in the 2023 recruiting cycle. IMG Academy linebacker Jordan Hall is the latest Sunshine State recruit to receive an offer from the Orange and Blue, according to 247Sports.
Florida has shown interest in Hall for a few months now, but Napier wasn’t ready to extend an offer until the two spent some time together in person. Hall saw five other players from his high school receive offers from Florida before him, and he’s been waiting on this one for a while.
“I got the offer from Coach Napier,” Hall said. “They were just stressing to me how they were going to keep watching my film and break things down before they offer anyone. This was one of the last schools I had been waiting on to hear from before I make my decision. It felt good getting an offer from them and knowing where we stand with my recruiting.”
It’s always a good sign when a recruit is waiting for your program to offer, but Florida will have some fierce competition for the 6-foot-2-inch, 225-pounder. Hall’s length at linebacker makes him a hot commodity, and the likes of Georgia, Florida State, Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State among others are hot on his trail.
He’ll be at Alabama on Friday and is hoping to stop by Auburn in the middle of March. Miami, Oklahoma, Ole Miss and South Carolina are also on his list of schools to visit. In other words, Hall’s recruitment is far from over.
While he’s not ready to put out a list of his top schools just yet, Hall holds UF in high regard. There is somewhat of a timeline on his recruitment as Hall hopes to have a decision ready by the start of his senior year. If he can’t make up his mind by then, things could get pushed closer to one of the signing days.
Hall is ranked No. 159 overall and No. 11 at his position on the 247Sports composite.
