A well-traveled cornerback who went from junior college to Washington State to Missouri, Stephen Hall signed with the Texans as part of their 2026 undrafted free agent class.
Stephen Hall's college path ran through Northwest Mississippi Community College and Washington State before he landed at Missouri for his final season. He went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft and signed with the Houston Texans, joining the team's rookie cornerback competition after a productive single season with the Tigers.
Path to the league
Hall began his college career at Northwest Mississippi Community College before transferring to Washington State, where he spent two seasons. He transferred again to Missouri for his final collegiate season in 2025, going undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft and signing with the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent shortly after.
Career highlights
Hall's lone season at Missouri established him as a reliable boundary cornerback after stops at two other programs, giving him experience against both Group of Five and SEC competition. His versatility and coverage instincts made him one of several defensive backs Houston brought in as undrafted free agents.
2025 season recap
In his only season with the Missouri Tigers in 2025, Hall appeared in all 13 games and made four starts at boundary corner, finishing with 26 total tackles. That performance helped him sign an undrafted deal with the Texans that included $190,000 in total guarantees and a $15,000 signing bonus.
