Jezayd’s strength is on display during the winter months on the wrestling mats . Hall spends his winter as a member of William Floyd’s wrestling team. The team is coming off a disappointing season a year ago, but Hall and his teammates are looking to right the ship.
The combination of speed and strength that has made Hall such a force in both football and wrestling will make him unstoppable on the lacrosse field. The quickness and elusiveness of a running back with the pure strength of a wrestler will prove dangerous on the Lacrosse field for the rest of Suffolk county.
