Steve Sarkisian Releases Statement on Arrest of Texas WR Agiye Hall
Texas wide receiver Agiye Hall was arrested Thursday for criminal mischief, according to the Travis County Police Department.
An officer from the University of Texas police department arrested Hall shortly after 9 p.m., and he was placed in jail around 10:06, according to TCPD records obtained by Sports Illustrated. Hall did $600 in damage to a “vehicle boot,” according to a police report obtained by the Austin American-Statesman.
On Friday, Longhorns football coach Steve Sarkisian said in a statement that the team was aware of the incident and that Hall had been “suspended indefinitely” from all team activities for conduct detrimental to the program.
Hall, the No. 5 wide receiver in the 2021 class, transferred to Texas from Alabama in April after Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban suspended him for violating team rules.
“Everybody has a responsibility and obligation to respect the principles and values and do what they need to do,” Saban said at the time. “They’re all there to help them be more successful, so to respect those and do those are always really helpful.
“[Hall] had that opportunity once, so I don’t know what his plans are for the future,” Saban said.
Hall finished with four catches and 72 yards in three games as a freshman in 2021.
