In a strategic move to reinforce their backfield, North Carolina has successfully acquired former Michigan running back Benjamin Hall. Standing at 5-foot-11 and weighing 235 pounds, Hall brings a robust presence and three seasons of eligibility to the Tar Heels.
Hall's stint at Michigan saw limited action, having played only three games in the 2023 season before redshirting. The following year, his role remained marginal, appearing in six games with 72 rushing yards on 12 carries alongside 12 yards in receptions. Expectations were high for his breakout in Ann Arbor this coming season.
During his high school years at North Cobb, he was a three-star prospect sharing the spotlight with now-Clemson player David Eziomume. This experience of competing for carries has honed Hall's competitive edge, and he's poised to thrive in Chapel Hill.
Joining a dynamic squad that racked up 2,727 rushing yards and 26 touchdowns last season, Hall has the opportunity to become a pivotal player in North Carolina's rushing strategy.
The college football transfer scene remains a rapidly evolving landscape, and Hall's move is one of many intriguing developments. Keep an eye on future transfers and team reshuffles as programs prepare for upcoming seasons.
