Texas' new favorite QB has the ability to put up huge numbers this weekend. But can he handle the pressure of the Frogs at the Amon?
Headed into this weekend, you can’t pull up "Texas football" without a plethora of articles about redshirt freshman quarterback Jerrod Heard appearing. The phrase, "Have you heard about Heard?" is getting tiring. But Heard is about the best thing Texas has going for it at the moment.
Heard was one of the first recruits signed by Charlie Strong back in 2013. Hailing from the destitute place known as Denton, TX, Heard attended Guyer High School and led the team to back-to-back 4A D1 State Championships his junior and senior years.
