#9 Chad Hall Air Force WR/HB (2004-2007)

• 2007 Rivals Third team All-American

Chad Hall is possibly one of the most valuable players for their team in the Mountain West.  During his breakout year in 2007 he accumulated 1,478 yards rushing, 524 rushing yards, and 16 total touchdowns. That yardage accounted for 36 percent of their total offense.  Hall was technically a wide receiver but under new head coach Troy Calhoun's hybrid run option attack used Hall as more of a runner and seldom as a receiver.  He was the key cog to getting Air Force back to their first bowl game since the 2002 San Francisco Bowl.
