In his recruiting profile for North Carolina Sports Association, Hall wrote, "I've been wrestling since 7th grade. I was not always the best wrestler back then but I was determined to succeed… I plan on attending a four-year college and studying business because I want to own my own sporting goods store someday."
Hall had a high school career record of 101-29.
"He was my best friend," Malik Hurdle told the Raleigh News & Observer Friday. "He was someone I could depend on no matter what. He was a light shining so bright he touched everybody he came into contact with. I really can't believe he's gone."
His high school wrestling program posted this message on Twitter:
"It is with our deepest sorrow that we inform you of the loss of former Pasquotank Co. Wrestler Ryan Hall. Ryan was great athlete, fierce competitor, and great friend. You will be missed.... #NENCSports"
The sheriff's department of Pasquotank County shared this on its Facebook page: Pasquotank County Sheriff's Office:
"We are saddened by the loss of Ryan Wayne Hall (22). Ryan wrestled through middle and high school, competing in the state 2A Wrestling Championship as a Senior at Pasquotank County High School. He was loved by many, including our own School Resource Officers assigned to the school.
"We are extending our deepest condolences to the family, friends, faculty, and students of Pasquotank County High School. Ryan will be missed greatly."
Funeral arrangements have yet to be announced.
