As we've been mentioning the last few weeks, the rumors and worry about a potential decommitment from Washington, D.C. defensive end Terrell Hall have been intensifying; apparently with good reason.

Hall, the country's 141st-ranked player and 10th-ranked defensive end, is re-opening his recruitment a week after his last visit to Columbus, when he checked in on the Buckeyes during Friday Night Lights. That visit came on the heels of an extended visit to Alabama – his second trip to Tuscaloosa – and was it appears likely that Bama is the current favorite to land the 6-foot-6, 250-pounder. Still, Hall wanted to make sure that Ohio State fans knew he appreciated the love they've given him.

Maryland and Penn State are also teams to watch moving forward.

The Buckeyes have commitments from two five-star defensive ends, Jonathon Cooper and Nick Bosa, and there's little doubt that other schools have reminded Hall of them in these last two weeks.

Eleven Warriors will have more on Hall's commitment, including whether or not the Buckeyes are likely to try and add another defensive end in his place, in The Hurry Up 7:45 p.m.
