Brennan Hall begins his first year as a graduate student manager with the Utah men’s basketball team and third year with the Runnin’ Utes program overall.
Hall grew up in the Wasatch Front playing AAU ball for Runnin’ Ute legends Jimmy Soto and Josh Grant before joining the East High School boy’s basketball team – which was led by another Ute legend, Mitch Smith.
In 2000, Hall helped the Leopards capture a share of the regional title. He then went on to be an assistant under his former coach for three seasons (2021-23) while attending the University of Utah.
Hall then served as a video intern for both the Utah football and men’s basketball programs for the 2023-24 season. He returned in 2024-25 as a football video graduate assistant while also helping out as a volunteer student-manager for the Runnin’ Utes before signing on as a graduate student manager under first-year head coach Alex Jensen.
Since birth, college athletics is all Hall knew with both parents graduating from the U. His father, David, was a member of the swim team at Utah while his mother, Stephani, worked in the both the Utah and Arizona State Athletics Departments. Meanwhile, his grandfather was a longtime head men’s basketball coach with stints at Utah Tech, formerly known as Dixie State at the time, and Southern Utah.
Hall graduated from Utah with a degree in strategic communications in the Spring of 2024.
