After not having the receiver depth necessary to consistently produce in 2021, the Longhorns went out and nabbed two major transfers at the position this offseason.
Texas was able to flip Wyoming transfer Isaiah Neyor from Wyoming, and he has already been a star during spring, but Steve Sarkisian’s staff didn’t stop there. After a rocky tenure at Alabama, former four-star wide receiver Agiye Hall decided it would be best to follow the staff that recruited him and transfer to Texas.
This was a major boost for Texas, who now have a plethora of weapons on offense, and 247Sports’ Josh Pate believes Hall could be the best of them all.

It is safe to say that the Longhorns now have an embarrassment of riches at the position as the two transfers will help free up star receiver Xavier Worthy, while also allowing for Jordan Whittington to find his groove as he looks to have a healthy season.
Even if Hall, who saw limited time at Alabama during his lone season there, doesn’t put up huge numbers right away for the Longhorns, he offers some depth for the future. There is a possibility that Texas will lose three of their receivers in Jordan Whittington (who plans to leave after the season), Isaiah Neyor (who can test the NFL waters), and Marcus Washington (senior) after the 2022 season.
Nonetheless, Steve Sarkisian has all the weapons in the world and depending on how well the quarterback play is, the Longhorns may end up having one of the top scoring offenses in the country with all the new additions.
