Santa Fe Christian Standout Commits to New Mexico Lobos

Albuquerque, N.M. – Dax Hall, the younger brother of New Mexico men’s basketball leading scorer Jake Hall, has committed to play for the Lobos next season, choosing the University of New Mexico over other opportunities.

Hall, a 6-foot-2 point guard from Santa Fe Christian School in Carlsbad, California, averaged 27.1 points and 7.3 assists per game during his senior season. He never scored fewer than 17 points in any game this year and recorded nine 30-point performances, including a 42-point outing that helped him earn CIF San Diego Section Player of the Year honors.

Santa Fe Christian coach Johnny Dee praised Hall’s commitment, noting that the recruitment process focused solely on the player’s individual abilities rather than any connection to his brother. Dee, who previously played college basketball at the University of San Diego where he scored a school-record 2,046 points, emphasized that Hall’s value lies in his own game and leadership qualities.

Meanwhile, Jake Hall, who earned Mountain West Freshman of the Year honors last season, remains undecided about his future. Jake entered the transfer portal with a no-contact tag and has not publicly indicated whether he will return to New Mexico or pursue another opportunity.

The commitment adds a second potential Brother to the Lobos roster for the upcoming season, pending Jake Hall’s final decision. Dax Hall’s signing was confirmed through his social media channels and reported by local Albuquerque news outlets on April 16, 2026.
