Texas Football adds elite talent in Alabama transfer Agiye Hall

Texas football head coach Steve Sarkisian has taken full advantage of his Alabama ties and added another former elite transfer on Tuesday.

It looked like Agiye Hall was going to be an integral part of the Alabama offense this season before he was suspended for violating team rules and eventually entered the transfer portal.

But Alabama’s loss has turned into Texas football’s gain as the Longhorns added the former top-100 wide receiver from the transfer portal on Tuesday.

Hall is 6-foot-3, 195 pounds and was ranked 38th overall in the 2021 recruiting class according to the On3.com consensus rankings, as well as the No. 4 overall wide receiver.

Sarkisian played a role in recruiting him to Alabama, so it wasn’t a big shock to see Hall wind up with Texas football, especially with all the pieces in place for the Longhorns.

Texas football offense should be explosive

Hall didn’t play a huge role for the Crimson Tide last season but he was going to contend for playing time after catching four passes for 72 yards a season ago.

Hall is far from the only significant addition that Texas football has made from the transfer portal this offseason.

Former No. 1 overall quarterback in the 2022 class, Quinn Ewers, who reclassified to the 2021 class and went to Ohio State, transferred to Texas this offseason, joining an offense that already features Bijan Robinson, a Heisman candidate at running back, and Xavier Worthy, who caught 62 passes for 981 yards and 12 touchdowns in his freshman season a year ago.

Texas also added former high-ranking tight end, Jahleel Billingsley, from Bama earlier this offseason and he caught 35 passes the past two years.

This latest addition gives Texas another big, talented wideout to pair with Worthy, and with Robinson and Billingsley factored in, the Longhorns should have more than enough offensive talent to be a Big 12 title contender in 2022.
