MSU LB Jordan Hall named to preseason Chuck Bednarik Award watch list
Add another watchlist to Jordan Hall's preseason honors
Michigan State linebacker Jordan Hall has once again been recognized for his outstanding performance on the field. The team's star freshman has been selected for the Chuck Bednarik Award watch list, an annual honor bestowed by the Maxwell Football Club to the best defensive player in college football. This marks Hall's third preseason watch list nomination this year, following previous accolades for the Butkus Award and the Wuerffel Trophy.
Hall, who is in his fourth season with the Spartans, is determined to have his best season yet. He was voted team captain as a junior in 2025 and was also named an honorable mention All-Big Ten pick in the previous season. The Chuck Bednarik Award, named after legendary NFL player Chuck Bednarik, is a prestigious recognition for a defensive player's overall impact on the game.
