After a 2020 season which saw him register eight receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown in Alabama’s final three games (SEC Championship and two College Football Playoff contests), Billingsley entered 2021 with high expectations.
However, he began the season in Nick Saban’s doghouse, and struggled to find his way out. Billingsley finished the season with 17 receptions for 256 yards and three touchdowns.
Fortunately, he’ll have an opportunity to start fresh with the Longhorns, where he will reunite with head coach Steve Sarkisian, his onetime offensive coordinator at Alabama.
