Offensive lineman Marcus Hall from Glenville High School in Cleveland, Ohio, will announce his college decision at his school at 1 p.m. today (Monday).

Hall said he will choose among Tennessee, Ohio State and Miami.

Hall took an official visit to UT this past weekend and came away impressed with the Vols coaching staff.

"That coaching staff is incredible," Hall told the News Sentinel. "The amount of players going to the NFL from there will probably go way up. I know that for a fact.

"That's because of the atmosphere Coach Kiffin and coach (Ed Orgeron) is creating around there. They're really going to change that place."

Many have thought Ohio State to be the leader for Hall.

In fact, Hall showed little interest in UT until his teammate, cornerback Mike Edwards, committed to the Vols on Jan. 25.

"He told me he liked it a lot," Hall said of Edwards. "That really showed me something. That's what really got me interested."
