Bruce Hall could be the top quarterback prospect in the Pensacola area and the product of Milton High School currently has three offers to show for it. Hall led the Milton Panthers to an 11-2 season a year ago where they advanced all the way to the Class 3A semifinals.

Hall said he received around 30 phone calls during the month of May and picked up a few offers.

"I have been offered by South Florida, Wake Forest, and Navy," Hall said.

Hall said he did not have a set favorite but he does have an idea of a top five. He said Clemson, Purdue, Auburn, Tennessee, and Kentucky were at the top of his list.

"I'm kind of open to all of them," Hall said.

Hall is 6-foot and a half and weighs in at 185 pounds. He runs the forty-yard dash in 4.65 seconds. As a junior at Milton he passed for 2,200 yards and 18 touchdowns while only being intercepted five times. Hall was named to All-State and All-Area first teams.

Hall has attended camps at Auburn and Alabama this summer and said the biggest factor he will look for when choosing a school is the academics. He has a grade point average of 3.0 and scored a 24 on the ACT in his sophomore year.
