Texas Football: 4 biggest decommits ever for Sark

Daeshon Hall, DE

This is actually an interesting storyline that arose for Sark when he was the head coach throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s with the Washington Huskies in the PAC-12. Washington and Sark once held a commitment from the talented four-star Lancaster 6-foot-6 and 220-pound weak-side defensive end Daeshon Hall in their 2013 recruiting class.

Hall was a staple piece to the Huskies 2013 class, but his commitment didn’t stick around for all that long. He originally committed to Washington on June 29, 2012. Then, he decommitted from Washington around National Signing Day 2013 (specifically on Feb. 6, 2013), before subsequently flipping his commitment to Texas A&M that same day.

That 2013 signing class for the Huskies had a lot of interesting names, including linebackers Keishawn Bierria and Azeem Victor, wide receivers Damore’ea Stringfellow and John Ross, and defensive tackle Elijah Qualls, among others. But Hall surely would’ve been a blue-chip commit that added some productivity to that group.

It was Sark that was still Washington’s head coach when Hall essentially flipped his commitment to Texas A&M back around National Signing Day 2013. Hall wound up going on to become one of the most productive defensive ends for Texas A&M in the past decade. He was also the 77th overall pick of the Carolina Panthers in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft.

During his four years playing for Texas A&M, Hall registered 158 career combined tackles, 35.5 tackles for loss, 14.0 sacks, one interception, three pass breakups, four forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries.

Hall was no doubt a big-time impact player for the Aggies, and he almost played for Washington and Sark instead.
