The Florida native ranked No. 38 overall in the 2021 On3 Consensus and earned a five-star rating in On3’s rankings. He also came into college as the No. 4 wide receiver and No. 10 player in his home state.

The decision to transfer from Alabama came shortly after Nick Saban announced that the wide receiver was suspended from the team for a second time, which Hall said on social media was news to him. However, he quickly decided to leave the program and now reunites with one of his lead recruiters in Steve Sarkisian.

Hall was getting ready for his second season with the Crimson Tide after seeing action in three games last season. He had four catches for 72 yards in 2021, but could have a big part of the gameplan at Alabama before his departure.

Agiye Hall’s father on Texas

The 6-foot-3, 195-pound receiver made a visit to Texas last weekend with his parents. Hall’s father, Vincent Hall, said the Texas visit checked a lot of boxes, and apparently led to a quick commitment.

“The visit was great,” Vincent Hall told On3’s Inside Texas. “We had a great time. It was our first time in Austin. The vibe of the city was great.”

A big part of the visit was Agiye Hall leaving Austin with a clear vision of playing for Texas.

“I think so. All the staff was outgoing and showed him how much they want him. He has so much familiarity with Coach (Jeff) Banks and Coach (Steve) Sarkisian. And he feels comfortable with them.”

What’s next in the process lacks certainty. Hall’s primary focus is on finishing up the semester strong.

“We don’t have anything else planned as of this time. We have had discussions with a few schools, but we haven’t scheduled anything. Agiye is focused on finishing strong in his classes.”
