Texas officially announces addition of former Alabama TE Jahleel Billingsley
Texas was rumored to be the landing spot for former Alabama TE Jahleel Billingsley after he recently entered the transfer portal.
On Wednesday, the Longhorns made it official with their new offensive weapon.
As you can see below, the former Crimson Tide tight end will reunite with ex-Alabama OC Steve Sarkisian for the 2022 season and potentially beyond:

Big things were expected from Billingsley in 2021 after a strong finish to the 2020 season, but he spent much of the year in Nick Saban’s doghouse.
We’ll see if a reunion with Sarkisian gets his promising career back on track. In 2021, he had 17 catches for 17 catches for 256 yards and 3 touchdowns.
