The Oklahoma Sooners are in the running for the nation’s top recruit in the 2028 class. And he’s set to make his decision in a few months.
Louisville (Ky.) Christian Academy five-star defensive lineman Kellan Hall will announce his college decision on Jan. 3 during the Under Armour All-American Game. The Sooners made the cut for the 6-foot-4, 265-pound prospect when he announced his top 12 schools in August. Along with Oklahoma, LSU, Miami, Michigan, Kentucky, Texas A&M, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Georgia, Oregon, Texas and Ohio State are in the running.
Oklahoma won the big recruitment just three years ago when 5-star defensive lineman David Stone committed to the Sooners at the Under Armour All-American Game. Now, Oklahoma is hoping it can have the same luck with Kellan Hall. However, things are a bit different this time around. The Sooners held the home-state advantage for Stone. Hall comes out of Kentucky and has said many nice things about the Wildcats.
For Oklahoma, Hall last visited on September 19th when the Sooners earned a 14-6 win over New Mexico. He’s been in Norman a few times and watched the Sooners play other programs on the road. He’s consistently said good things about Oklahoma, including that they’re prioritizing him as a recruit and have shown they can develop players into NFL talent.

As a sophomore last year, 247Sports reports, Hall helped Louisville Christian Academy to an undefeated 15-0 record and a win in its fourth-straight Kentucky Class 3A championship. Hall was credited with 53 tackles (17.5 TFL) and 6.5 sacks. He earned Class 3A Lineman of the Year honors and was named to the Courier Journal’s All-State defense.
Hall is a consensus top-100 prospect in the nation, coming in at No. 4 on Rivals, No. 3 per ESPN and No. 2 per 247Sports. Though the “247Sports Composite” and “Rivals Industry Ranking,” which averages out all rankings from each recruiting site, each have him listed as the top prospect in the nation.
