Breece Hall is one of the best young and on-the-rise running backs in the NFL for the New York Jets. However, he didn’t just start here, and he didn’t do it by himself. It took the help of his parents.
Considering that, who are his parents, Larhonda McDaniel, Raquel Guerra, and Jeff Smith?
Breece Hall’s Father and Stepfather, Raquel Guerra and Jeff Smith
Born May 31, 2001, Hall did not grow up with his father, Guerra. Shortly after having Hall, Guerra and McDaniel split up.
Instead, Hall grew up with McDaniel and her boyfriend, Hall’s stepfather, Jeff Smith.
Little is known about Hall’s birth father or their relationship. His relationship is strong with Smith, who is a former football star in his own right.
Smith was a four-year NFL veteran who played with the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Chiefs took him in the 10th round of the 1985 NFL Draft.
Smith played running back and finished his NFL career with 56 games, totaling 204 rushing attempts for 752 yards and five touchdowns. He retired after the 1988 season.
Thanks to his experience in the NFL, Smith was able to provide Hall with not only support but also experience. He’s been essential in providing him with everything he needs to have a successful start to his career.
Hall’s Mother, Larhonda McDaniel
While McDaniel isn’t able to give the football experience help that Smith is, she is able to provide the most support of anyone.
Following his last season at Iowa State, where he set many records, Hall was approached by his family, embracing them after the team dominated TCU.

“I was overwhelmed. It was a big moment for him and for the team and the fans. When I saw his tears as he was running toward me, I just lost it. He’s so humble, but to see him took my breath away,” said McDaniel.
