Alabama has been one of the top contenders for five-star Terrell Hall since he decommitted from Ohio State. The Crimson Tide landed the Washington (D.C.) St. John’s College High defensive end on Signing Day.

“I picked the Crimson Tide because I feel at home around the guys like Da’Shawn Hand, the teammates and I know everybody there,” said the 6-foot-5, 251-pound Hall. “I know I’ll be coached by the best. Coach Lupoi, coach Saban, and coach Cochran, who is very instrumental to a lot of people’s success.”

Hall is excited about the ways Alabama can help him down the line.

“They put you in the right position, on or off the field,” he said. “You’re getting coached by the best and after football the connections are strong. Coach Saban is very powerful and he can get you a lot of connections after football, especially in what I want to major in, which is sports journalism and broadcasting.”

Maryland, Ole Miss, and Florida State were Hall’s other finalists.
