Draft Profile: Bio
Michael Hall Jr. from Streetsboro High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Hall Jr. joined Ohio State after being heavily recruited.In 2021 as a freshman Hall Jr. saw action in 4 games and played a total of 35 snaps for the Buckeyes.

Scouting Report: Strengths
- Hall has a wide base and a low center of gravity to hold his ground against single blockers, as well as the upper-body strength to shed them.
- Strength gives ends a chance to twist inside and linebackers free lane to the passer on blitzes.
- He’s ready for the physicality of the NFL; Hall has a stout build, strong core and powerful limbs to step in right away as a three-down player.
- His motor is excellent, and he’s quick to locate the ball and make plays against the run.
- Provides some secondary interior pass rush, getting most penetration when playing three technique.
- Plays with leverage at the point of attack whether inside or outside. Keeps eyes in the backfield when inside; moves linemen to either side with strong hands.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- While he’s powerfully built, his short arms allow blockers to get into his body.
- Hands could be much more violent when trying to gain control of the block. Struggles to hold his ground while facing a double-team; first instinct is to roll away to make a play, which can create a large hole.
- Only adequate burst off the snap even when directly over the ball, and his initial pop leaves room to be desired.
