Georgia’s defensive line has dominated this year’s NFL Draft coverage, and rightfully so. Jordan Davis, Devonte Wyatt and Travon Walker are all going to be first-round picks and are considered the consensus top three interior defensive linemen in the class, if we count Walker as a pseudo-interior player. Hell, some people are already getting their top-10 slots for next year ready in preparation for Jalen Carter. The Bulldogs’ three star 2022 prospects are not the only stud defensive linemen donning red jerseys in this year’s class, though. Houston’s Logan Hall, a 6-foot-6, 283-pounder with an attitude, is every bit as deserving of first-round talk as the trio of national champions.
Hall’s path to becoming the player he is today is a unique one. Coming out of high school, Hall was a three-star edge recruit who weighed 225 pounds. Hall started to pack on weight with each passing year, eventually hitting the 260 range by the time he took a starting job as a junior in 2020. Hall beefed up again for his senior campaign, up near the 280-pound mark, and transitioned more to being an interior player and heavy strong-side end rather than the edge rusher he came to campus as.
What’s fascinating about Hall is not just the transition itself, but how comfortable he has already become as an interior player. Interior work happens more quickly, is more violent and is littered with different stimuli than edge defenders are used to. It can be a tough transition, but Hall is already as nasty and attuned to the position as anyone else in the class. With only a few years of experience, Hall has been able to blend technique and awareness with explosive athleticism and an unrelenting ass-kicker’s mentality.
