2017 TE Jeremiah Hall Commits To Oklahoma
Posted on: June 12, 2016
After several OU coaches teasingly tweeted about the possibility of an addition to #SoonerSquad17, TE/H-Back Jeremiah Hall (Charlotte, NC) put an end to the speculation in announcing his commitment to Oklahoma.
Hall has yet to visit Oklahoma, but tells TFB he plans to visit Norman on July 29th. Hall was offered by the Sooners back in May as an H-back and already holds a number of East Coast offers including NC State, Pitt & Maryland.

BOOM!!!!
Welcome aboard, Mr. Hall.
I like this get! Riley and Boulware saw someone they wanted, did not give a damn about his prior offer list, and got themselves a Flowers replacement (in my opinion)!
what is his 20 yd speed, 3-cone speed , and 40 yd speed ? his profile provides no information……….very modest offer list……….
another diamond in the rough
Not many people use H backs. Too small tp play traditional TE
He will be used in a variety of ways with a good OC.
H Back – Joe Gibbs used an H back for years at Washington.
With the spread we are seeing teams that don’t need the true to form tight end, rather, they need a player that is athletic enough to be versatile in their formations. A player that can put his hand on the line and block zone, lineup in the backfield to catch a shovel pass and flex outside of the tackle box to beat a linebacker in coverage; all on the same series of downs.
We do. Millard, runnels, Rip, and Seth. Great players
God u r pathetic
In other words, and I agree, we want top rated recruits. This is not to say that he won’t turn into a 4-5 star player. We’ll wait and see.
And some 4 & 5 star players turn into 1 – 3 stars in college. New coaches, new approach, new type of players. Bama offers this kid, he’s an auto 4 star. BTW, didn’t Bama go after the kid from Oklahoma last year that was less than a 1 star?
There are people on here that no understand the fooseball, momma said that if they ain’t a 4 star or better they ain’t good enough.
I don’t care about stars. The staff identified someone they liked and offered.
Yep. I understand when people get frustrated at a lower rated offer the week before signing day. That has the smell of desperation, but it’s June. They want this kid. So do I.
I agree
You will probably never see an H Back player rated as a 5* and rarely as a 4*. They don’t have a category H Back so they rate them vs another position such as TE or label them an ‘athlete.’ Since they don’t fit the prototype for a position they don’t get rated as high as the guy that does. However, if what you are really looking for is an H Back type player, he may be a perfect match.
U and STD are on the same page then. Well done.
4.7 GPA, he has mind speed. 🙂
He is a system type player. Utility player. He will play H-Back. His size is very comparable to Dimitri Flowers out of HS. Flowers was 6’3 219. Hall is 6’3 224.
Now, Flowers was committed to Boise State. Didnt have a ton of offers. Hall has similar skill-set to Flowers and Millard. Will play same position.
Absolutely hate the offer list bashing. Mayfield had, what you would call, a modest offer list. So did Flowers, Millard, Bradford, Lane Johnson, Jordan Evans, Zach Sanchez, Brandon Everage, Dan Cody, Teddy Lehman, etc.
It’s not about who has offered. It’s about a kid fitting the system and program. You’re schtick grows more and more tired by the day. Learn a couple of things about the game before posting as if your statements are fact.
I enjoy you reading our site on a daily basis. Just steer clear of not respecting a kid or bashing their offer list. They work hard for every offer. Coaches work just as hard to evaluate and find those that fit the program. And if you acnt tell, tbus staff is doing just that, and then some, by having the number 2 class in the country, by most services.
How many times can I upvote this?
Once, Fear. LOL!
But the real question is how many people we can get to upvote this post.
Thanks Brandon!
“Vacation”
In this line of work there really is no vacation. Exhibit A is today.
Hey Brandon, not really relevant to the post, but I was wondering, do you know how Stoops is looking to fill out the rest of our scholarships? I saw above that we only have 4 left, and I assume we’re saving a spot for both Hines and Humphrey, as well as Wilson and Okudah if we somehow manage to snag them. Is there anyone else left still seriously on our board?
I was told this class would have 25 to 28 spots. This year’s class will be bigger compared to last year’s. OU has to sign 4 to 5 Dline men in general and a few more Oline men & LB’s.
AMEN! How many kids (I won’t name specific kids because that’s not cool) have we seen with an offer list the size of the Mississippi that ended up doing nothing? I am of the mindset if the coaches feel good enough about the kid to offer than who am I to criticize? I know football pretty darn well but these coaches have forgotten more than I will ever know. The comparison to Baker was perfect for obvious reasons. The kid walked on at 2 separate programs and now finds himself at the helm of a championship caliber team with his name squarely in the Heisman discussion. Bottom line, if the kid is good enough for the coaches to believe in him, that’s good enough for me.
Have a great week y’all!
Welcome Jeremiah, BOOM!
Great looking player, BOOM!!
I love it when I am right!
Boom!!!!
Nice size, and ball skills. Ht Wt Power Ball toss Vertical
Jeremiah Hall 17 TE NC Vance 6-2 224 41.0 33.5
And a 4.7 GPA. Everybody see that?
I was wondering if that was correct, or maybe a thrown in 40 time.. Either way, impressive !
Never really thought about it that way, but “hey, my forty time is lower than my GPA” is just like shooting your age in golf, but harder.
Must have straight A’s in honors and college level classes. He might come to school academically a sophomore.
Outstanding!
So, “Bullfrog” as a nickname?
“Jeremiah was a Bullfrog”.
Kid looks ripped, BOOM!
I was surprised to see him lined up as tailback so many times.
I like this as much for the indication of what LR wants to do. Millard was a beast and was under utilized. The fact that we are still targeting guys like this is great for the HUNH mismatch. I love it.
What sort of packages do you see us taking advantage of that for? I was thinking line up in the diamond for a short distance package, and splitting him out if they load the box.
LR basically has a full tool box with this kid. He showed some blocking skill so he will be valuable in short yardage, he can also run pattern out of a heavy set. So many options.
Boom at last….Boom at last!
BOOM!
What’s the difference between an H Back and a Wing Back?
H-back is usually heavier ; Wingback is usually quicker / faster……..
Thanks for that deep dive into the details. We are all now dumber for having read this.
I had to reduce the details for you to understand.
I can’t wait for Brandon to throw the hammer at ur trolling little behind. You tried to kiss up there for a few days, but he ain’t stupid.
U understand that NO ONE likes you, right?
And it’s really obvious to everyone here who understands what when u come crying about offer lists and drill times and have no idea what the staff sees and plans to do with this kid. It’s June. We aren’t throwing last minute offers at lower end athletes. This is a kid we wanted and locked up.
P. S. I didn’t ask the question. Curious, have you ever played a competitive sport in ur life? And no, Skipbo with mom doesn’t count.
as a matter of fact, YES…..baseball…..wasn’t good enough for a scholarship though…
Wow, I want to laugh, but not sure if you have a medical problem or not so I won’t do that out of respect for those that do. All I know is this – mods are starting to get sick of ur crap like most of the free world is. Play your game, but play it wisely, loser. Bubye.
decent fielder but poor hitter….nothing medical….
I like SD , he adds balance.
Contrarians are people too. 🙂
Ok
What balance? He’s off his rocker. LOL!
Check my response further down.
Spot on commentary, much appreciated!
H Back is usually a bigger back that will line at FB, TE, or slot depending on the situation. Basically both Millard and Flowers fit the description. I think Riley will probably do more with them than Heupel did though. Try to create a mismatch using them in the HUNH. If they put a safety on him you bring him in tight and run at him, if they put an LB on him move him out into the slot and throw to him. That sort of thing.
Good stuff and you do a multiple packages without substituting. Most teams use this including Bama. They are just used differently with different offenses.
Bob has always loved to use players like this on both O and D. Go all the way back to Roy Williams who was a hybrid S/LB. They really stand out when you go HUNH. If you get a mismatch, you never let it get off the field.
So, an H-Back is a “heavy” Wing Back?
In some senses yes, but ideally you want for him to also play like a TE at times. More of a FB/TE hybrid.
This kid is athlete and football player. Millard 2.0 in my opinion. Especially after Schmidt gets him.
Cool we got the next Dimitri Flowers. I think that’s what separates our offense from a lot of other spread offenses in the BIG 12. We always have that one athlete at the FB position.
Millard, Ripkowski, Flowers and now J. Hall.
He may not be the highest rated player, but his rating is pretty high for a H-Back. Welcome aboard young man. He is rated a little higher than Flowers was in 2014

Surprised at how good a RB he is. Riley is probably already drawing up plays to create mismatches with him. Doesn’t fit the prototype of any of the traditional positions, but then we don’t run a traditional offense. Looks like a 3* by traditional measures but a 4* for our offense.
Boom! Welcome. Kid looks like an athlete. And I didn’t know 4.7 was possible!
Where’s Metz? He missed da BOOM! Cheryl is happy though—–
Not counting transfers and early NFL entries, we have 4 scholarships available for SS17. Time to get some beef.
any of them to be used for Baylor commits from 2016 should they turn to OU ?
This is getting a little tight for my liking. Wow, never thought I would say those words lol.
Giggity
Let’s ask Butch Jones how he pulls it off each year.
Oh, let’s not.
There would be whipped cream present.
I’ll pass.
I guess I should too since my free-spirit friend is passing it up.
How goes it today, sir?
Today was a good day. Spent time with my lady and just had pizza for dinner. How are you?
We are good here. My brother from Germany is visiting. The kids had a swim meet today. We had dinner at Ohio Brewing Company. Getting ready to watch Game of Thrones.
Sounds great. Glad to hear it. Is it finally getting warm up in Ohio?
It was 94 on Friday, 90 on Saturday, and 61 today with wins up to 15 MPH.
That figures.
Hearing some on current scholly are being “recommended” to transfer. Not that Bob and Co will ever force someone to do so, but thinking a handful of schollies open up by fall. Yes, we need the big boys on board now fo sho though.
Jumbo athlete that is very versatile. I like.
BOOM!!!
There’s some good buzz on Twitter with SS17. Tre Brown and Bandy giving the horns down and Tre Sermon just welcomed Mr. Hall to the squad.
Jacob Phillips KILLED it at the Rivals 5 star challenge. He would be a great pickup for OU. If OU just closes with all of these 4 star kids they’re in good with, this will be the best class since 06. If they land 1 or more of these 5 star kids on top of that…possibly the best class Stoops has had.
It’s looking real good, fingers crossed till signing day.
You said it!
Had a feeling last night it was Hall by the coaches tweeting. Good pickup for a position very important to what Riley wants to do. Special type of athlete. BOOMER, Jeremiah, and welcome to the Sooner family!!!
Dude definitely is a versatile player. Almost reminds of of Hurd from Tennessee, but with more wiggle and slightly better speed. He’s the type of prospect an OC can salivate over on the different ways you can use him. Good pick up for the goos guys.
BOOM!!!

Holla Holla Holla Holla. Fun day made even better by this wonderful news. Welcome aboard the SS17, making the Sooners greater one day at a time!
Keep in mind in this discussion that we recruited a similar athlete in this mold last year in Dalton Wood. Of course he didn’t stick on campus, but it shows that they are looking for that kind of player. Riley seems to want a guy that can play multiple positions in the back field, end of line, and in the slot. It’s a way of creating mismatches when you go no huddle. These are guys that don’t fit into one of the standard recruiting spots so they don’t end up as highly rated, but in the right scheme they can be very effective.
You are exactly right Bob. Dalton was the first player I thought of when I watched this kid. Versatility with a belt clip.
Versatility is the right word. Too many people want to make him a TE and then evaluate him as a TE. But he is not a TE in the traditional mold. They are looking for someone who can be good in multiple spots. He may not be the best TE, or FB or Slot, but he can be decent at each.
Andrews is a good enough receiver that he can slide outside if need be yet big enough that he can play TE. So with him, Mixon who can play slot as well, and Hall you can have a set of players that could go power I (Mixon at RB, Hall at FB, and Andrews at TE) or five wide (Mixon and Hall in the slot and Andrews on the outside) all without changing personnel. So if the other team comes out in a nickle you slide into the Power I. They come in big, you go five wide. In either case, it creates a mismatch somewhere. Then, by going no huddle, you force them to stay in the mismatch.
Looks great on paper, just hoping the coaches put it all together just the way you stated. We definitely have the tools to drive a D-coordinator nuts.
We’ve done similar things in the past. They used to do a similar thing with Gresham and Murray who could both move around. I seem to remember that 2008 offense being half way decent.
Yes, yes, yes, and……..yes!

Great pick up OU. This kid is good. Saw him play in VA last month and by
