The 6-foot-3, 195-pounder from Bloomingdale High School in Valrico, Fla. had four catches for 72 yards in seven games as a freshman last season.
He signed with Alabama in December 2020 after offers from Texas, Georgia, LSU, and Florida. The two-sport high school athlete ran a 11.18 100m and a 22.51 200m.
He was ranked as the No. 38 overall player and No. 4 receiver in the 2021 recruiting class, according to the On3 Consensus. On3’s internal rankings labeled Hall as a five-star, the No. 11 overall prospect and No. 1 wide receiver in the nation in his class.
Hall just wrapped up his first season at Alabama. He came to Tuscaloosa as a four-star wideout and the fourth-ranked wide receiver in the 2021 recruiting class according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average.
Two of Hall’s receptions as a freshman came in the National Championship game against Georgia, going for 52 yards. Over the course of the season, Alabama head coach Nick Saban was pleased with the progression he saw from Hall.
“In the last, I don’t know, all these bowl practices, starting with the SEC Championship game, Agiye has started to develop confidence, and he has a lot of ability,” Saban said. “And he started to develop confidence in knowing what to do, knowing how to do it, knowing why it’s important to do it that way.”
Hall is the fourth addition to the Texas roster from Alabama in Steve Sarkisian’s tenure along with Ben Davis, Jahleel Billingsley, and Keilan Robinson. He joins Billingsley, Isaiah Neyor, Ryan Watts, and Quinn Ewers as additions to the portal ahead of the upcoming season.
