Class of 2027 three-star running back Jordan Hall has committed to Penn State football, he announced Saturday evening.

The Cincinnati, Ohio, native is ranked the No. 32 player in the state, No. 60 running back in the class, and No. 852 player in the nation, according to 247Sports’ Composite rankings. He originally committed to Miami (Ohio) on June 7 after the RedHawks offered him on May 11.

Penn State was the second school to offer the running back on August 21, opening the door to a string of Power Four offers. Hall decommitted on September 3 and took an unofficial visit to Happy Valley during White Out weekend.

Hall is Penn State and Savon Huggins’ second running back commit in the Class of 2027, joining three-star Chukwuma Odoh. He’s the first Nittany Lion commit since three-star quarterback Will Wood flipped to Boston College in the wake of Penn State’s Week 7 loss to Michigan.

Matt Campbell emphasized taking the bye week as a big recruiting opportunity, and Hall is the first domino to fall.

Hall chose Penn State over Ohio State and Missouri. To see what the newest Nittany Lion brings to Happy Valley, check out his Hudl highlights here.
