Michigan suffered a lot of attrition from the defensive backfield following the 2023 football season. Along with losing Mike Sainristil and Josh Wallace to the NFL, Cam Calhoun (Utah) and D.J. Waller (Kentucky) transferred. And that doesn’t even bring into account the safety position. Waller probably would have been the #3 guy in 2024 and possibly would have had a chance to beat out Jyaire Hill for the #2 spot. So the Wolverines coaching staff went into the portal to get Ricky Johnson from UNLV and Hall from Albany.
Hall was a standout at Albany last year and was named an FCS All-American. Albany has a history of sending decent transfers up to the FBS level, including Florida State defensive end Jared Verse, who was picked in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft. Hall probably won’t be a first round pick in 2025, but he appears to be a worthwhile addition. Word out of camp is that Hill will be CB2 this fall, and Hall appears to be the next guy in. That means Hall will still play quite a bit this fall. Keshaun Harris got the third-most outside corner snaps for Michigan in 2023, and that amounted to 158 snaps.
Based on what I’ve seen of Hall from Albany, he’s an aggressive corner with good size. I don’t think he’s going to be intimidated by the move up to FCS, and physically he seems like he’s going to hold up well. His athleticism seems adequate, too. The biggest thing is going to be how he adjusts to Michigan’s defense, disguising coverages, etc., and that’s difficult to predict based on past film. Again, the word out of camp is that he’s hit the ground running and should be ready to roll as the third corner against Fresno State.
Prediction: Backup cornerback
