Hall played high school football at Gulliver Prep in Florida, where he was a teammate of D’Sean Perry, one of the three Virginia football players killed in a shooting on the school’s campus last month.
Hall remembered Perry to ESPN in a story that ran shortly after the shootings:
Perry was skilled at pottery. His high school teammate, Anton Hall, Jr., was in the beginner’s pottery class next door to Perry’s advanced class. Perry would always wrap his project early then wander over to the beginner’s class and offer tips or start sketching out new designs. And, invariably, he’d start cracking jokes and have the rest of the class laughing hysterically. Hall is convinced Perry could’ve been a professional comedian.
