Georgia had to wait a day after all the fun of the Early Signing Period’s first day on Wednesday, but the commitment and signature of standout defensive lineman Jordan Hall is in. The four-star from Jacksonville, Fla. chose Georgia over in-state Florida. He comes in as the No. 56 overall player and No. 6 defensive lineman in the country according to the On3 Consensus with On3’s in-house rankings being highest on him among any in the industry: No. 29 overall and No. 4 among players at the position.

“Everybody goes to the Georgia’s, Alabama‘s and Florida’s for one reason,” Hall told On3 Director of Recruiting Chad Simmons. “That’s to follow their childhood dream. They’ll work towards the NFL. They’ll get their degree, but play football at the same time. I feel like Georgia, it maximizes all of those to a higher degree. Coach Smart is doing a great job with coaching the guys up and making sure everything was straight, so I really respect coach Smart for that.”

Hall made a pair of visits to Athens since October including an official visit earlier this month. To him, it feels like home away from home.

“The go-to-work mentality really fit me,” Hall added. “They keep everything really punctual for their players. Everything is work, earn what you get and keep working. It’s like a hierarchy of work, honestly, at Georgia and there’s a balance with it. It’s not too much football, but not too little football… Honestly, Georgia I feel like is the perfect balance for me.”

On3 Director of Scouting and Ranking Charles Power shares an assessment of Hall’s game below. His “Reminds Us Of” comparison is to former Auburn Tiger and Detroit Lions first round pick Nick Fairley.

Explosive defensive lineman who has one of the best first steps in the 2023 cycle. Explodes into the backfield in a split second, blowing up plays in the backfield. Shows outstanding short area burst, closing on quarterbacks and running backs. Uses active hands at the line of scrimmage and employs an effective swim move. Looks to have long arms, which aid in his ability as a violent finisher behind the line. Has the play speed to track down plays from the backside. Put together some of the best junior season video among defensive tackles in the 2023 cycle. Played well when facing top competition. Will benefit from time in a college strength program. – On3 High School Scouting Summary

Hall joins Jamaal Jarrett as the only two true defensive linemen to sign with Georgia in the nation’s No. 2 class. Gabriel Harris is listed as a defensive lineman however likely is bound to be an outside linebacker for the Bulldogs. Overall the class has 14 defensive players including nine in the top-100 per the On3 Consensus.
