The Texas football legend, known as “The Sugar Land Express”, dies at 89

Hall, which played in the early 1950s, set up a national rushing record of 11,232 career opportunities that broke up until Derrick Henry in 2012.

Hall was born and visited and visited the Sugar Land High School in 1935 in Madisonville, Texas, and increased as a quarterback with two threats. Hall's final year in 1953 was particularly noteworthy when he hurried for 4,045 yards, which is still the highest one season in the history of Texas and the sieve best of all time nationwide. He also had two more seasons with over 3,000 rushing yards.

After the high school, Hall was recruited by Paul “Bear” Bryant to play in Texas A&M. However, he left the program after his first year due to a mismatch between Bryant's philosophy and Hall's skills. Hall did not get back to College Football, but later he played professionally in the Canadian football league and in the NFL with the Chicago Cardinals, Houston Oilers and St. Louis Cardinals.
