What made you decide you wanted to be a football player?
Watching my older brother and playing it at a young age just made me fall in love with the game.
What are your favorite moments from your football life?
As crazy as it sounds probably tearing my ACL in junior college and losing all my offers because it taught me how to be resilient and to keep going and to never quit.
What are you looking to achieve as a football player going forward?
Making it to the NFL and striving at a high level.
If you could hang out with any football player past or present for a day, who and why?
Tyrann Mathieu or Jalen Ramsey, both are complete football players and just overall dogs.
Which one of your family members inspires you the most and why?
My mom, she is the hardest working person I know and taught me everything I know.
What is your favorite defensive scheme and why?
As a defensive back I would say any dime package because it has mainly defensive backs on the field, so I’m kind of bias.
What should we know about Stephen Hall the person?
That I’m one of the most hardest working people and my character is high I treat everyone how I want to be treated.
What stands out about your film the most?
I would say my physicality, I can beat blocks and my man coverage.
How do you handle challenges both in life and on the football field?
I am a Christian, so just giving all my problems to my Jesus Christ and he solves every one of them.
What would a team get in a player like you?
The team that gets me will get a high character person and a hard working person no matter the outcome. I’m not results driven, meaning I don’t only work hard when things are going my way I still work hard even when they aren’t.
What do you love the most about the game of football?
I love football the most because it teaches me real life values and principles and it puts my mind at ease.
Who is the most underrated player you’ve played with and why?
The most underrated player I played with was at Washington St and I would say Cam Lampkin cornerback for the Rams. I say that because I mean if you watch him and his tape he never got the credit he deserved. Hell of a ball player.
