The Buccaneers kicked off the second day of the 2022 NFL Draft picking first due to the day one trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tampa Bay selected Logan Hall, a defensive lineman out of Houston, with the 33rd overall pick.
Hall played four years at Houston and was a two-year starter earning first-team All-American Athletic Conference honors with a team-high 13.5 tackles for loss with 6.5 sacks during his senior season. The 6-6, 285-pound defensive lineman brings a unique athleticism for a player of his size.
The former Houston star has a playing style for a 3-4 defense which the Buccaneers have played in under head coach Todd Bowles. Hall participated in the NFL’s Scouting Combine posting a 4.88 40-yard dash with a 30-inch vertical jump and saw interest from the Bucs during the pre-draft process.
The Texas native joins the ranks of Will Gholston and Patrick O’Connor and could provide strong rotation depth in the interior defensive line.
