Texas will be without tight end Jahleel Billingsley until mid-season due to a six-game suspension stemming from his time at Alabama, according to coach Steve Sarkisian.
Billingsley, a senior transfer who joined the Longhorns in January, did not play in Saturday’s season opener because of the punishment and will miss the next five games after receiving the suspension from the NCAA. Sarkisian did not disclose the reason for the NCAA’s decision but told reporters it was related to something that transpired prior to Billingsley’s arrival at Texas.
“(It’s) not for anything that occurred here with us but at his previous stop,” Sarkisian said Saturday, via The Athletic.
