Two schools are standing out to four-star WR Jalen Hale

Alabama and Texas are the current favorites for the Longview product. 

Four-star wide receiver Jalen Hale is one of Texas’ top remaining targets in the 2023 recruiting cycle.

247Sports composite rankings list Hale as the No. 11 wide receiver in the country and the No. 11 overall prospect in the state of Texas. He has picked up 35 offers and named a top three of Alabama, Georgia and Texas back on July 8.

Chad Simmions of On3 Sports’ reports the recruitment of Hale is a “two-team race.” Alabama and Texas are the current favorites for the Longview product.

Hale is set to make the trip to Austin on Sept. 10 for the highly anticipated matchup between the Crimson Tide and Longhorns. He will also check out Alabama on an official visit before his Sept. 21 commitment date.

Texas has done a great job recruiting the wide receiver position in the 2023 cycle. The Longhorns have five-star Johntay Cook and four-stars Ryan Niblett and Jonah Wilson committed to the program. Adding Hale to the fold would make up one of the most talented wide receiver classes in Texas history.
