You all have encouraged me to do great things, to accomplish my goals, and to break barriers. I am eternally grateful for you and love you all dearly. Without you, I would not be where I am today. To Coach (Matt) Campbell and the coaching staff, thank you for your support in my decision and for pushing me to be a better person and a better player each and every day, on and off the field. You asked for my hustle, and I gave you my heart. Thank you for giving me this opportunity, I am forever grateful. “To my teammates, thank you for uplifting me day in and day out. For always encouraging me to be the best version of myself. WE have been through so much together and shared countless memories and experiences. I am thankful for each of you. I am blessed to have been a part of such a historical team. And to Cyclone Nation, thank you so much. The support you have given me throughout these last three years is undeniable. I appreciate your support and dedication to this team. I would not trade this experience for the world. I will never forget the roar of the crowd in Jack Trice Stadium. I am honored to be a Cyclone, and I will always be a Cyclone. Loyal sons forever true. Breece Hall.” Hall is out for the Cheez-It Bowl against Clemson according to multiple reports including ESPN.
