A Fall River football standout will take his talents to the Big 12 Conference after entering the transfer portal.

Jason Hall, a soon to be junior linebacker, has transferred to West Virginia after helping the Villanova Wildcats reach the FCS playoffs.

Standing at 6’2″ and weighing around 230 pounds, Hall is recognized for his strong instincts and physical play at linebacker.

He was a standout running back at B.M.C. Durfee High School where he rushed for over 1,000 yards as a sophomore and dominated as a junior (1,035 yards and 16 TDs in five games).

Hall transferred to Suffield Academy in Connecticut for his senior year, earning All-League, All-State, and Boston Globe All-Scholastic honors.

He verbally committed to Villanova in 2022, fulfilling a lifelong goal of playing Division I football.

The Wildcats squad reached the Football Championship Subdivision semifinals before losing to the Illinois State Redbirds 30-14.

Hall joins basketball standout Joson Sanon who will also be representing the Mountaineers
