Agiye Hall arrested, facing criminal mischief charges

Agiye Hall, who transferred to Texas from Alabama this offseason, was arrested Thursday night, according to Inside Texas’ Joe Cook. He’s facing Class B misdemeanor charges as a result.

The Travis County Sheriff’s Office took Hall into custody at 9:06 p.m. Thursday and charged him with criminal mischief between $100 and $750. The TSCO website lists his bond at $0.

Hall transferred from Alabama over the offseason after facing an indefinite suspension from the Crimson Tide program. Before he entered the transfer portal, Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said Hall violated team rules.

“He is suspended from the team for violations of some team rules, whether they’re academic or whatever, it doesn’t really matter,” Saban said, via AL.com’s Mike Rodak. “Everybody has a responsibility and obligation to respect the principles and values.”

The next day, Hall entered the portal and ended up committing to Texas on April 19. He was the No. 35 transfer to hit the portal this offseason, according to the 2021 On3 Transfer Portal Rankings.

Last year with Alabama, Agiye Hall appeared in three games and caught four receptions for 72 yards. The Crimson Tide made it to the national championship, where they fell to Georgia.

Just last week, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian discussed Hall’s maturity as he makes the transition to the Longhorns program.

“I think he’s progressing you know, transition is tough for everybody, I get all that you know,” Sarkisian said. “When you’re a true freshman and you’re thrust into some of the environments and big time games that he was in, and are you prepared? Are you not? So our job as coaches with any player, Agiye is no different than Keilan Robinson or Ryan Watts or anybody that comes into our program, is to try to get them immersed into our culture.

“And then try to develop them on and off the field so they can grow and have an impact on our team, but also kind of grow as a person and man and player, to build their brand and get them to be as close to their potential as progress. He’s got a lot of potential, he’s making progress. Not a finished product, but I don’t expect our guys to be finished products, what I do expect is growth. We’re seeing that.”
