Former BYU QB Max Hall confronts addiction by helping others, coaching football, staying sober

These days, Max Hall isn’t hiding from his past. He eagerly seeks out opportunities to share his story — a candid, unvarnished version — in hopes of encouraging others. His is a story of a tragic fall and ongoing redemption.

“He’s worked really hard and he’s got himself to a place where he’s able to be the old Max that we remember. We’ve been standing by him throughout this process and we’ll continue to do so.”

On a bright, crisp morning last spring, Max Hall stood on the field at LaVell Edwards Stadium during Alumni Day, smiling and reconnecting with former BYU players.
