Texas wide receiver Agiye Hall hauled in his first pass as a Longhorn in the 37-34 loss to Texas Tech.
The Alabama transfer has seen limited playing time following a fall camp suspension that put him behind in the development process. Hall’s role with the team is expected to continue to grow in the coming weeks.
Steve Sarkisian is happy with how Hall handled his suspension to get back with the team. Sark hinted that we could be seeing more of the redshirt freshman wideout as early as this weekend.
“I think he’s making the right steps to put himself in a position to be a real contributor on our offense, and I do think he’ll have a role here Sat. as we go into the ballgame.”
Hall is one of the more physically gifted wide receivers on the roster. He has a 6-foot-3 frame with the speed needed to threaten opposing defenses over the top.
Texas desperately needs a wide receiver to step up with Xavier Worthy batting injury. Hall could serve as a shot in the arm for the Texas offense moving forward.
