As the quarterbacks room for the Texas Longhorns experiences an unusual level of offseason uncertainty thanks to the new transfer rules, head coach Tom Herman and his staff added a talented preferred walk on to the program on Thursday with the commitment of Austin St. Michael’s Academy pro-style quarterback Sam Saxton:
The grandson of legendary Texas running back James Saxton, who became the first Longhorns All-American at the position in school history in 1961, the 6’5, 190-pounder was committed to Southern Miss from August until early December.
Saxton also held offers from Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Memphis, New Mexico, New Mexico State, Rutgers, Toledo, Tulane, and others.
