Jordan Hall Commits to Penn State Over Ohio State
His pledge gives Penn State its second running back in the 2027 class, boosting a 22-commit class as Matt Campbell’s staff stayed heavily involved.
Overview
- Jordan Hall committed to Penn State on Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026, choosing the Nittany Lions over in-state Ohio State and Missouri.
- Hall reopened his recruitment after an earlier pledge to Miami (Ohio) and made his rise this year after missing his junior season with an injury.
- The 5-foot-10, roughly 200-pound back has rushed for about 1,179 yards and 24 touchdowns this senior season and earned a positional MVP at Under Armour Ohio.
- Rivals currently lists Hall as a three-star recruit (around an 86–87 score) and he took two visits each to Penn State and Ohio State before deciding.
- Penn State now has 22 commits for 2027 and Hall joins Chukwuma Odoh as the second running back in the class, a sign of early roster building under coach Matt Campbell.
