Jerrick Hall returned to the Elon program in February 2017 after serving the previous two seasons as the defensive line coach at Fordham University.
In his return to Elon, Hall’s defensive line recorded 16.5 of the team’s 31 sacks in 2017. The Phoenix’s 2.58 sacks per game ranked 28th nationally.
The 2018 season saw Hall's unit help Elon finish 38th nationally in total defense with 359.1 yards allowed per game. The defensive line also helped Elon finish 15th in the country with 2.91 sacks per game. Marcus Willoughby led the unit with 3.5 sacks on the year. He was named CAA Defensive Player of the Week after Elon's 30-9 win over New Hampshire with nine tackles - six solo - with 4.5 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks for a loss of 15 yards before going on to earn Third Team All-CAA Football honors after the season. Tristen Cox also finished fifth in the nation with three recovered fumbles for the season.
As Fordham's defensive line coach, Hall helped the Rams lead the Patriot League and rank 10th nationally in both turnovers gained and fumbles recovered in 2015. In 2016, Fordham rated sixth nationally in passing efficiency defense and seventh in turnover margin. He coached one All-Patriot League honoree in 2016.
Hall spent the 2014 season at the University of New Haven where he helped guide the Chargers to a 6-3 Northeast 10 conference mark as the team ranked 28th in NCAA Division II in sacks per game and fourth in tackles for loss per game. New Haven was also 18th in the NCAA Division II in rushing yards allowed per game.
Prior to his year in New Haven, Hall spent four seasons at Elon. He coached and developed an All-Southern Conference defensive tackle and all-freshman team defensive end in 2010. In 2011, Hall mentored a defensive line that amassed 141 total tackles, 26.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks. With a young line in 2012, Hall's unit amassed 6.5 of Elon's 16 sacks.
From 2007-2010, Hall helped coach Campbell University's defensive unit. During that stretch, the 2009 squad tallied 50 tackles for loss including 12 sacks. Three of the 2008 squad's defensive linemen ranked among the top-25 linemen in the league in tackles per game.
Prior to joining the Fighting Camels, Hall spent four seasons coaching at his alma mater, North Carolina State, where he was responsible for defensive film breakdown, scouting reports, coaching the offensive scout team and working with the defensive line. During his tenure, Hall worked with four first-round NFL draft picks, including Mario Williams - the first overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft.
A 2004 graduate of North Carolina State, Hall was a four-year letter winner for the Wolfpack as a defensive tackle and helped the program to three bowl game appearances, including a win over Notre Dame in 2002 Toyota Gator Bowl. He earned a bachelor's degree in park recreation and tourism management from the school in 2004 and completed his master's degree in liberal studies in 2007.
