Early life and high school
Billingsley grew up in Chicago, Illinois, and attended Wendell Phillips Academy High School, where he played football and basketball.[1][2] He played multiple positions for the Wildcats including tight end, receiver, wildcat quarterback and defensive line.[3] Billingsley was rated a four-star prospect and committed to play college football at Alabama over offers from Auburn, Florida, LSU, Michigan and Ohio State.[4] He was the first Alabama recruit from the state of Illinois since 1997.[5]
College career
Bilingsley played in nine games with two receptions for 16 yards as a freshman.[6][7] He caught 18 passes for 287 yards and three touchdowns as the Crimson Tide won the 2021 College Football Playoff National Championship.[3][8] Billingsley also led the team with 89 kick return yards.[9]
Billingsley was moved down the depth chart prior to the start of the 2021 season.[10] When coach Nick Saban was asked about it after the team’s first game against Miami, he said Saban said, “Jahleel and I have talked on several occasions because he’s certainly a guy that we want to have success for his own benefit individually, as well as for the team. Sometime when you get a little external encouragement it can be a positive for you.”[11][12] Billingsley caught a 26-yard touchdown pass in the Crimson Tide's 31-29 win in Week 3 over 11th-ranked Florida and returned to the starting lineup the following game against Southern Miss.[13]
Billingsley ended the 2021 season with 17 receptions for 256 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games.
On January 11, 2022, Billingsley entered the transfer portal after not catching a pass during the CFB Championship for Alabama. Then on January 16, it was announced that Billingsley would be transferring to Texas to play with former Alabama Offensive Coordinator, Steve Sarkisian
