Ashton Hall played college football at Alcorn State University before becoming a social media influencer

While Ashton Hall played college football, he never had much of a chance of going pro. He was a running back at Alcorn State and never got the opportunity to play at the higher levels of college football. He never even really got to play at the lower levels, only appearing in five games throughout his college career.

As a result, Hall shifted his focus to personal fitness and development. He turned his passion into a social media career. He got his journey started by posting videos of his morning routine, and eventually, many of his videos went viral.

Ashton Hall's videos have given him the opportunity to work with many celebrities and brands. It has even allowed him to work with the NFL. On May 14, the Jacksonville Jaguars partnered with Hall for a creative schedule release video. In the video, Hall went through his daily routine before the Jaguars' 2025 schedule was released at the end.
