Class of 2026 four-star safety Kaiden Hall is one of the most-coveted recruits in the country, and there is a major college football program leading his recruitment as visit season heats up.

Hall (6-foot-3, 200 pounds) plays for Milton (Florida) High School as a two-way star that got snaps at defensive back and quarterback/ wide receiver as a junior last season.

Defensively, Hall racked up 32 tackles (3 for loss). He also added 161 rushing yards and two touchdowns with eight receptions for 80 yards on offense in seven games.

Hall is rated as the No. 1 safety in the state of Florida, the No. 4 safety nationally and the No. 70 overall recruit (On3).

Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Michigan and Oklahoma are in contention for the highly-touted prospect.

Following a "great" visit to see the Crimson Tide and head coach Kalen DeBoer in March, Hall revealed to On3's Chad Simmons that Alabama is the frontrunner at this time.

“Alabama was a great visit this month, I have been there seven or eight times now and they are really making it feel like home,” Hall said via On3. “The coaches have shown me how I would fit in. I have sat in on meetings, I have been around the players and the Alabama staff is doing a great job with me. Alabama is leading.”

Hall will reportedly visit Michigan on April 5 and plans to take trips to Florida and Florida State next month. He also has official visits lined up to Penn State (May 17), Florida (May 30), Florida State (June 6), Alabama (June 13) and Oklahoma (June 20).
