Dexter Hall (born October 10, 2020) is an American football linebacker who is currently preparing to enter the professional ranks.He played college football for University of Wisconsin (Wisconsin) and has declared his intent to enter the professional ranks next season.

Early years

Dexter Hall was born in Miami, Florida on October 10th, 1999. In high school, Dexter Hall was a part of a struggling team with an unmotivated head coach and teammates. Dexter Hall never learned proper technique and did not win more than 5 games in a season. As a result of this, he was highly overlooked by college scouts and barely got any offers. During his time in high school. Dexter Hall had not hit his growth spurt yet so he was quite small compared to his teammates his freshman year. Unable to keep up with everyone physically, in order to show the coach that he could play, Hall worked on his pass rush moves and hand placement to make up for his lack in size and speed. Fortunately, before his sophomore season, Hall grew to his current physique which allowed him to compete with everyone on the field in terms of speed and size. With his improved speed and strength combined with his above average technique, Hall was able to dominate as a pass rushing linebacker. However, football is a team sport and due to his dysfunctional team, Hall rarely won games in his high school career.

College career

Dexter Hall joined the Wisconsin football team and although the coaches saw some potential in him during practice, they knew he needed a lot of work. Hall was redshirted and the linebackers coach worked with his closely teaching him all the fundamentals that he was never taught in high school. The following season, Hall was ready to make an impact. The coaches were pleased with how Hall had developed but they wanted to see results in a game. For the spring scrimmage, the coaches told Hall that if he could get 2 sacks and 10 tackles, he would be given the starting role at linebacker. Ready to show all the work he had put into training, Hall dominated the entire game. The first play Hall came flying off the edge stuffed the runningback for a 2 yard loss. In the first two quarters, Hall registered 3 sacks, 4 tackles for a loss, and 12 tackles. The coaches pulled him out at halftime and congratulated him for earning the starting job. As a redshirt freshman, Hall dominated for 13 sacks and 20 tackles for a loss. Now Hall was receiving the national recognition he deserved. Going into his sophomore season, Hall was in the talks for the Butkus award, for being the nations best linebacker. Unfortunately, in the first game of the season, Hall tore his ACL and was out for the season. After a successful recovery, Hall was determined to finish his college career on a strong note. In his final and junior season, Hall was a finalist for the Butkus award with 15.5 sacks, 18 tackles for a loss, and two interceptions. Now Hall looks to take his skills to the professional level as he awaits to be drafted to a DSFL team.

DSFL career

S27

In S26, the Kansas City Coyotes were by far the worst team in the league, going 1-13 which included losing all 7 home games. After an embarrassing season, the only thing KCC could look forward to is having the 1st overall pick. With that, they took the consensus #1 prospect in the draft, WR Luke Quick. Before the DSFL Luke Quick had demonstrated phenomenal leadership skills which were much needed in the Coyotes locker room. After securing an offensive weapon, the Coyotes looked to draft a defensive prospect to shore up their league-worst run defense. The Coyotes had always had Dexter Hall high on their draft boards so when he fell to them, the war room was overjoyed. As the only non-bot LB on the team, Hall knew he needed to step up and help bring the team back in contention. Behind Halls 12 TFL, the Coyotes were able to go 7-7 and sneak into the playoffs and make it to the Ultimini before eventually falling to the Birddogs.

S28

Fresh off an ultimini appearance and heading into his Sophomore season, Hall was ready to dominate the league. In the offseason he was drafted in the first round to the Chicago Butchers. Hall was honored to have been selected so high in the draft and he was not about to disappoint. Unfortunately, the Butchers were loaded at LB and had asked Hall to stay down in the DSFL for a few more seasons until they had space to take him on. Unfazed, Hall was more than happy to continue to rack up the tackles in the DSFL. Hall put on a show notching 118 tackles, good for 3rd in the league along with 3 forced fumbles and 5 recoveries. He even managed to score the elusive defensive touchdown. Unfortunately for the Coyotes, despite going 7-7 again, they ranked last in their division and failed to make the playoffs behind strong performances from London and Portland.

S29

In his first offseason of nothingness, it felt odd for Hall to not prepare or anticipate a draft. But with the newfound time, Dexter started to prepare for his final season as a Coyote. He already knew he would be called up to the Chicago Butchers, who still had retained his rights from the previous draft. Seeing as this was his last chance in Kansas City, Hall focused on training as hard as he could to make one final push for the Ultimini. Hall had always prided himself on his pass rushing capabilities but ever since he joined the league, he had failed to get to the Quarterback, notching a total of 2 sacks in his first season. Hall put in a lot of effort fine tuning his pass rushing moves and his efforts paid off. He managed to get 5 sacks, doubling his previous total. Unfortunately it seems like he focused too much on pass rushing that he get rusty in other aspects. Hall failed to account for a turnover in his final season.

ISFL career

S30

After a two season wait, Hall was finally getting called up to the ISFL with the opportunity to show off his true potential in front of the biggest crowds. The previous season the Butchers limped to a 5-11 record, good for 2nd worst in the NSFC. After retooling in the offseason the Butchers were hoping to improve and lean on a strong LB core. Because of the strong LB core, Hall was delegated to the 3-4 LB spot and playing some DL when needed. The limited Halls impact as he stumbled to less than stellar stats posting a career low in tackles and not recording a turnover. The only bright spot was Hall tied his career high in sacks at 5. The Butchers that season did improve, but only by a game finishing at 6-10 and 3rd worst in the NSFC. The Butchers needed serious help after ranking in the bottom half of the league in almost every category.

S31

After an unimpressive rookie season, Hall started to lose focus and motivation. The band of Chicago LBs were still together which meant Hall would spend another season as the 3-4 LB and on the DL. Hall frequently skipped on training and rarely showed up for the media during the season. Hall was going through a slump and that was reflected in his stats as he posted new career lows for himself getting only 44 tackles on the season and again failing to cause a turnover. His only meaningful contribution ended up being the rare blocked punt in the regular season. Despite Halls miscues off the field and poor performance on the field, the Butchers were trending up securing the 3 seed on a 10-6 season. But like in his Coyote days, the Butchers didn't even get a sniff at the Ultimus after falling to the Yeti in the conference championship.

S32

Ever since being called up to the Butchers two seasons ago, Hall was trending in a downward spiral doomed for failure. We're not sure what gave him a kick start but Hall started to act differently going into S32. It may have been due to team needs Hall needed to step up to fill the 3rd LB role although some reports have come out saying that a fierce counting competition in the Chicago facilities got him to work harder and show up at practice each day. Whatever the reason may be, Hall finally started to make a name for himself. Hall finally got his turnovers with an interception and a forced fumble and recovery each. Along with that, he posted a career high in sacks at 7 and got back into his DSFL form notching 91 tackles. However Halls efforts didn't make much of an impact. Although the team was ranked 4th in pass defense, they ranked 12th in run defense and fell to 5-11, 3rd worst in the league.

S33

With the great LB core of Chicago dropping like flies, Hall had to yet again step up alongside LB Domine to rally the defense for a bounce back season. Finally the Butchers gamble on drafting Hall in the 1st round paid off. Hall had his breakout season finishing top 10 in tackles and sacks, tied for 10th in TFL, and getting a pick six to go along with it all. A respectable defense paired with the league leading offense in points brought the Butchers back to the playoffs with yet another 10-6 season and the 3 seed. However, like in S31, the Butchers failed to make it to the Ultimus. This time falling to the eventual Ultimus champs, the Baltimore Hawks who the Butchers failed to beat the entire season, including the preseason. Halls efforts did earn him a nominator for breakout player of the year but his season wasn't enough to win the award.

S34

Hall really cemented himself as the true LB1 for the Butchers this season and his stats back him up on that. This season, it was up to him to continue his success as one of the captains of the team. Hall continued his great S33 season by getting more TFL, sacks, interceptions, and PDs. He finished 7th in the league in tackles, 8th in TFL, tied for 3rd in sacks, and tied for 3rd in PDs for linebackers. This stat line got Hall recognized as he was nominated for defensive player of the year (but interestingly enough he was not nominated for LB of the year). Hall fell short of the award but also received a pro bowl nod. Chicago's long wait of suffering finally paid off this season. Chicago had a phenomenal season having the best record in the league, most points scored in the league, and least points scored in the league. You couldn't ask for a better performance than that. Chicago received the 1st round bye and faced the Berlin Fire Salamanders in the NSFC conference championship. After falling behind 20-6 with 10 minutes left in the 4th, a lot of hope was lost. The offense could barely move the ball and had only managed two field goals the entire game. But after good kick returns, an interception, and a missed field goal, the Butchers were able to rally back to win. The Butchers finally had their first Ultimus appearance in franchise history and were going up against the Hahalua. This game was a slugfest and could go down as one of the best Ultimus'. Both teams were evenly matched and after 5 lead changes, the Hahalua tied the ball game with a minute left. After two quick possessions by both teams in OT, the Butchers got the ball back. Chicago would go on to methodically move their way down the field and secured their first Ultimus victory in franchise history with a 1 yard Madison Hayes TD run.

S35

Coming fresh off Chicago's first Ultimus in franchise history, team spirits were sky high. The general public were in agreement that Chicago would run the NSFC. Unfortunately things did not go as planned. The Butchers started the season on the road against Berlin, at home against Sarasota, and back on the road against Philly. The result? A league-worst 0-3. The defense was like swiss cheese and the offense couldn't get going until they were facing prevent defense. Narratives of the Ultimus hangover were popping up all over the league and there were rumors of players already wanting out after the horrid start. Then the Butchers managed to snag a few wins before dropping some more. Sitting at a record of 3-5 Chicago was still at the bottom of the NSFC. But the Butchers don't stop there! Chicago rallied to win 6 out of their last 8 games fueled by OWIDHUSE to notch the 2 seed. Unfortunately the Butchers fell to Baltimore in the conference championship.

S36

Regression is theft. An aging Dexter Hall still commanded the stout Chicago defense but he could feel the wear and tear on his body weighing him down. But that wouldn't stop Hall from showing up for Chicago. As is tradition at this point, the Butchers started slow dropping their first game against the Baltimore Hawks. But as if that flipped a switch, the Butchers would go on a 8 game win streak after that leading the pack in the NSFC. Chicago lost two out of their last 7 and evened their record out to 13-3, good for the best record in the league. With the first round bye and home field advantage throughout the playoffs, spirits were again high for the Butchers. But things didn't go as planned as they fell to the Sailfish in embarrassing fashion with the offense getting shut out and the only points coming from the defense on a safety.

S37

You thought Dexter Hall was getting old in Season 36? Well here he is to prove the doubters wrong. After a slightly disappointing and quiet S36 where he didn't break 100 tackles and only forced 2 turnovers, Hall asserted his dominance once again this season. Eclipsing the 100 tackle mark again for 135 tackles, which was good for 2nd in the league! He one upped himself last season by being 3rd in the league in sacks at 16 and forced 6 fumbles, tied for first in the league. Thought the forced fumbles weren't good enough? Hall also was tied for first in the league for 3 fumbles recovered. The Butchers were able to sneak into the playoffs this season after the Philadelphia Liberty internally combusted and threw their playoff spot away. The Butchers didn't get far in the playoffs, however, and lost to the Wraiths in the first round in embarrassing fashion.

S38

Well maybe last year was an anomaly. After a steady decline in stats, Hall entered back into the spotlight in season 37 earning a second team all pro team selection. But after a rather disappointing season both for the team and Hall last season, it seems like this is the trend with Hall getting older with each passing day. Hall recorded a career low in tackles since his sophomore season in the league at 80 and had no tackles for a loss - the first time in his career that this had happened. And to add onto that, he tied his career low for sacks in a season at 4. Hall couldn't do much for his team and that showed on the field. The Butchers finished with a 7-9 record, good for 3rd worst in the conference and getting themselves the 3th overall pick. With longtime quarterback Kazimir Oles Jr retiring and veteran Tron Carter coming in, can the Butchers put together a good season before Hall hangs it up?

S39

Hall's presumably second to last season of his career. Dexter had already lost some playtime to rising stars Omni Man, Rumble Ronson, and Brian Duke but he knew that he meant more to the team than just his on the field performance. As one of the oldest veterans on the team, it was expected of him to lead his teammates. Win or loss, Hall made sure he was there to pick his teammates up and keep them locked in during the season. He especially wanted to be a good mentor to fellow linebacker Brian Duke, who came out of his alma mater, Kansas City. Duke made quite a few mistakes early in the season and was seen slacking on some workouts causing the tyrant GMs, TheCC and Painted, to bench him for Hall. But Hall knew potential when he saw it. He mentored Duke with all the knowledge he had accumulated over the seasons, all the niche insider info about each team, and the best stretches to do after the game so you wouldn't hurt the next day. Within a few weeks, Duke proved himself to the coaches and sprung back up on the depth chart. Although the season didn't end with an Ultimus win, the Butchers did much better than expected, making it to the conference finals.
