Former Ohio State Buckeyes defensive tackle Mike Hall is heading into the NFL Draft, and as he leaves Ohio State he had some pretty high praise for head coach Ryan Day.

During a recent interview with On3, Mike Hall opened up about just how much Ryan Day prepares his players for the next level regardless of position on the side of the ball.

“I actually received my offer from Coach Day,” Hall told On3 via Zoom. “A blessing to be able to be coached by him and learn a lot of things. Just to come in and have these standards, we’ve got to live up to them every day. It’s a high expectation at Ohio State. It’s a fight every day, day-in and day-out.

“Your spot on the roster is not set. You’ve got to earn it day-in and day-out. That was known for everybody, no matter what, if you’re a special teams, kicker, punter. Very competitive and be able to set you up very well for the next level.”

We’ll have to see how Hall performs at the next level but he is widely considered one of the best interior pass rushers in the entire draft. It will be interesting to see where he lands.
