North Texas Head Coach <b>Todd Dodge</b> courted Brenham High School, 13-3,  Defensive Back/Safety <b>Jeremy Hall</b>, 5-11, 195, 4.5 but lost him in the recruiting wars to Southern Methodist. Hall had offers from North Texas, Southern Methodist, Louisiana Tech, Louisiana-Monroe and the University of Texas-El Paso.

He was rated a three star player from Rivals.com. Scout said about him the “only thing he is lacking is an inch or two in size. He has great instincts for the ball and has won two games with late game interceptions to seal the win. Plays hard in the secondary and plays with force. Seems to be in the right place at the right time over and over again.”

He was selected to the first team defense in 4A-18 football. 

His reason he choose SMU over the other schools was for its academic history and its sports facilities. Now, he has packed his bags headed home to decide what options he has in front of him after the SMU Admission Board decline his application to attend the school. Another SMU signee offensive lineman <b>Darryl Jackson</b> from Long Beach, Calif. was also declined admission and is in the same situation as Hall.

Brenham High School Athletic Director <b>Glen West</b> told Eagletalk.net Hall is “a player that has a nose for the ball” and “would be a great pickup for a program.” West was on vacation when the news broke and caught him by surprise. He has “heard from several programs” about obtaining Hall’s services.

He has not talked to Hall about which programs he maybe interested in and could not say if North Texas is in the picture. At this point in time, Hall is not accepting telephone calls while he is considering his options.

Because Hall “was a NCAA academic qualifier” he can attend any school without any penalties. The questions are does any school have a scholarship to offer at this time? Would he be forced to grayshirt this season?

Hall was selected to the Texas Sports Writers Association All-State team as a defensive back. He garnered three interceptions during the season and four in the playoffs for season total of seven interceptions. His efforts help Brenham get to the state finals for just the second time in school history.

He is an all around athlete and as the starting point guard he directed the team to the Class 4A Region III semifinals.

Hall was the starting right fielder on the baseball team which won the class 4A State Championship. He batted .421 with an on-base % of .559, slugging % .605, fielding % 900 with seven doubles and accounted for 23 runs.

North Texas fans can watch him play in the Texas High School Coaches Association All-Star Football Game which will be help in the Alamodome on July 20^th.

Reports are Hall would now like to play for a school where he can play football and baseball.
