Former Ohio State Running Back Jordan Hall Arrested for Brutal Assault in Columbus Gas Station

Jordan Hall, a former Ohio State football running back and team captain from 2009 to 2013, was arrested on a felony assault charge following a violent incident at a Columbus gas station. Surveillance footage shows Hall forcibly dragging a man out of a car and repeatedly striking him in the face, causing the victim to lose consciousness and sustain severe head injuries, leading to a critical condition at Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center. Hall allegedly stopped his vehicle after initially leaving the scene to strike the victim again, with police involving homicide detectives due to the severity of the injuries. Despite his promising football career and leadership roles, Hall never advanced to the NFL and has since worked in building maintenance management and real estate. His mugshot, showing a wide grin, circulated online, and he is scheduled to appear in court. This case adds to a series of legal troubles involving former Ohio State football players.
