On Wednesday, the Texas Longhorns officially announced the addition of former Alabama Crimson Tide tight end Jahleel Billingsley, who committed on a visit over the weekend.
A January enrollee who is listed as a senior with the potential of two remaining seasons of eligibility, Billingsley signed with Alabama in the 2019 recruiting class as a consensus four-star prospect ranked as the No. 308 player nationally and the No. 11 tight end, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.
For Billingsley’s first two seasons in Tuscaloosa, his position coach was Texas tight ends coach/special teams coordinator Jeff Banks while Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian was his offensive coordinator, so it was hardly a surprise when Billingsley visited Austin and pledged to the Longhorns only days after entering the NCAA transfer portal.
