2016 DE has Ivy options along with Big Five
Class of 2016 Smiths (Ala.) Glenwood defensive end Isaiah Hall picked up his first two scholarship offers during his freshman year and while things have slowed a little bit since, he's still in contact with plenty of schools.
"Kent State and Georgia Southern came through and offered me as a freshman," Hall said. "I still keep in touch with them but I'm also talking to Princeton, Rice and Bucknell quite a bit."

Hall is nearly as big of a star in the classroom as he is on the football field and plenty of top-notch academic schools have taken notice. Hall said that while he dreams of playing major college football, he's also interested in getting a quality education.
"To me the most important thing is my education," he said. "Football isn't going to last forever so I'll take a long look at an Ivy League school and see what they have to offer."
One school that is no stranger to recruiting high-level academic players is Florida State. The 'Noles have been in contact with Hall and he's hopng to visit Tallahassee soon, as well as a few other programs.
"Coming up I'm going to check out Princeton and Bucknell," he said. "I want to make sure I visit Florida State, too. Then I'm going to look at Dartmouth and maybe Oregon if I can get out there."
