In total, Cleveland has drafted 38 players from Ohio State, more than any other franchise.

Hall played in 28 games in three seasons for the Buckeyes and totaled 45 tackles, including 10 for loss.

At times he looked like the most disruptive member of the Ohio State defense, but he battled a shoulder injury in 2022 and shared snaps with Ty Hamilton and Tyleik Williams last fall.

At 6-foot-3 and 290 lbs., he is also on the light side for an interior player but joins a talented Cleveland front adept at rushing the quarterback.
