Justin Hall Named To Second National Football Watch List

MUNCIE, Ind. - Ball State fifth-year senior Justin Hall (Douglasville, Ga./Alexander High School) has been recognized on a national football award watch list for the second time in just over a week. This time the Biletnikoff Award candidate made the preseason list for the 2021 Paul Hornung Award presented by Texas Roadhouse.

Now in its 12th season, the Hornung Award is given annually to the most versatile player in major college football by the Louisville Sports Commission to pay tribute to football legend and Louisville native Paul Hornung.

Hall enters the 2021 season as the nation's active leader in career receptions. He sits atop the Cardinals' all-time career receptions list (257) and ranks fifth in BSU history in career receiving yards (2,772), entering the 2021 campaign 258 yards shy of Dante Ridgeway's school record.

Hall holds the nation's longest active receptions streak at 43 straight games (every game of his career). He led the Cardinals last season with 49 receptions and 665 receiving yards, ranking second in the MAC in both categories.

Hall earned All-MAC First Team honors at both receiver and return specialist in 2020 while finishing the season ranked fourth nationally in all-purpose yards at 169.9 per game and 13th in the country with 7.0 receptions per contest. He earned MAC West Division Player of the Week honors (12/14/2020) in helping Ball State move past Western Michigan for the division title and was tabbed three times to the Hornung Honor Roll which recognizes the nation's most versatile performances.

The Ball State football team officially reports to campus for its fall camp Tuesday, August 3.
