Michael Hall Jr. is off to the NFL after 3 seasons at Ohio State.

Hall took to social media Saturday morning to announce that he is declaring for the 2024 NFL Draft. He is an early entrant in the draft 3 years removed from high school. Since he redshirted in 2021, Hall had up to 2 full season of remaining eligibility.

“First and foremost, I want to say thank you to my lord and savior Jesus Christ for blessing me with the opportunity of even being here today,” Hall wrote in a note posted on social media. “I am thankful for the blessing of this talent that has allowed me to play the game I love the most.

“Without him nothing is possible and I would not be here. This has been one of the greatest opportunities to ever experience playing for THE Ohio State University playing in front of the best damn fans and the best damn band in the land. I am also very grateful for the Brotherhood here at Ohio State that is special and I am grateful to create everlasting memories and relationships amongst my teammates.

“To my coaches, I am grateful for the opportunity to play here at THE Ohio State which has been a dream come true ever since I started playing football at the age of 6. You all have made me a better player not only on the field but off the field as well, I couldn’t thank you all enough.

“To my mother, words can’t express enough how much love I have for you. I just want to say thank you for all that you have done, sacrificing whatever for me throughout my entire career. No matter what happened you were there for me through the good and bad, and you continue to do that which I am most grateful for.

“It’s time to start the next chapter of my life and make the one dream that never died in me come true. I have decided to enter my name in the 2024 NFL Draft, always will be a buckeye for life…O-H!”

Hall played in 12 games for Ohio State in 2023, missing only the Minnesota contest. He finished with 24 total tackles, including 2 TFL and 1.5 sacks with 2 QB hurries.
