Former BYU point guard Dallin Hall is back in the transfer portal

Hall, who played at Virginia this past season, has received a fifth year of NCAA eligibility due to recent court rulings.

Former BYU point guard Dallin Hall is back in the transfer portal

Former BYU point guard Dallin Hall has re-entered the NCAA transfer portal, according to reports from Pete Nakos of On3 Sports. Hall, a familiar figure for BYU fans, averaged 5.9 points, 4.4 assists, and 3.6 rebounds per game last season. He entered the portal with a "do not contact" tag, preventing schools from reaching out to him and only allowing him to initiate recruitment communication.

This move comes after a U.S. District Judge ruled that NCAA must grant college athletes who have used up their four years of eligibility an additional season to play. Hall played for Virginia in the previous season, making 36 starts and helping the Cavaliers reach the ACC title game and the NCAA Tournament's Round of 32. During his time at BYU from 2022 to 2025, Hall averaged 7.1 points and 4.4 assists in 100 games, earning All-Big 12 Honorable Mention honors as a sophomore.

Currently, BYU has two open roster spots, but their most pressing need is at the center position, where they have been linked to fifth-year transfer Jaxon Kohler. Adding both Hall and Kohler to the team appears financially challenging, as BYU already has strong guard play with Rob Wright III and Collin Chandler. If Hall were to join the Cougars, his veteran experience, leadership, playmaking, and shooting abilities would undoubtedly strengthen the team's rotation.
