Former five-star wide receiver Agiye Hall is now a Texas Longhorn.
Arriving with lots of fanfare at the University of Alabama, as well as showing flashes in the spring game and the national championship game as a true freshman, it did not work out for Hall at Alabama. After entering the transfer portal, he decided to follow his lead recruiters Jeff Banks and Steve Sarkisian to the Forty Acres.
One man’s loss is another man’s gain.
Hall has what Sarkisian loves in wide receivers: elite speed, ability to separate, large catch radius, jumps out of the gym and can take it to the house at any time. Only Xavier Worthy had that home run ability last season. Worthy, Hall, newcomer Brennen Thompson, and potentially Isaiah Neyor now all possess it.
There is only one ball, though. Star running back Bijan Robinson will still be the focal part of the offense, as Sark is a run-first coach. Worthy is still the go-to receiver. Where does Hall fit in?
Hall will likely be challenging Neyor for the starting outside receiver spot, though if Jordan Whittington gets hurt he may slide inside. Hall has been in a similar offense, he won’t have as steep a learning curve, and as far as tools he may have the best on the team, though he is still raw.
Hall did not transfer to sit. Whittington and Neyor, look out.
