KJ Hall

KJ Hall is looking to make a name for himself.

The son of former BYU football standout running back Kalin Hall, KJ came out of nowhere late in the 2016 season.

The 5’9″/180 former walk-on saw his first real game action against Southern Utah, collecting 127 all-purpose yards (12 carries, 59 yards and 3 catches for 68 yards).  The following week against UMass, KJ carried the ball 18 times for 101 yards.

The shifty runner again looked good in Spring Ball.  KJ could definitely factor into the mix this season as a red-shirt sophomore.
