Saint Joseph's sophomore Jordan Hall has signed with an agent and will declare for the 2022 NBA Draft. 

"Our entire program is proud of Jordan and we are supportive of him to pursue his basketball dream," Saint Joseph's Head Coach Billy Lange says. "Jordan has developed as a basketball player and as a person in so many ways since he stepped foot on Hawk Hill. He will be a Hawk For Life and we are excited to see what the future holds for him."

Coming to Hawk Hill from the Philadelphia Catholic League's Neumann-Goretti High School, Hall became one of the most versatile players in the nation as he averaged 12.7 points, 6.34 rebounds and 5.74 assists per game in a St. Joe's uniform. Appearing in 50 career games with 47 starts, Hall set a new program record for career assists per game, and posted five double-digit assist games, the second most in Hawk history, trailing only Jameer Nelson's record of eight. 

This past season, Hall led Saint Joseph's in scoring (14.1 ppg), assists (174) and steals (37), and ranked second in rebounding (6.6 rpg). Along with posting a career-best eight double-doubles, Hall currently ranks 10th nationally in assists per game (5.8), 14th in total assists and 72nd in double-doubles. Named Big 5 Co-Rookie of the Year and selected to the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team a season ago, Hall also participated in USA Men's Basketball U19 Team Training Camp last summer.

Hall will forego his remaining years on Hawk Hill and NCAA eligibility as he pursues his professional career aspirations.
