The Big 12 is usually a stacked conference in terms of the prowess and national prominence of its quarterbacks. Texas football could have the best quarterback in the Big 12 rostered this year. Rising junior star signal caller Sam Ehlinger gained loads of notoriety with his breakthrough sophomore campaign.
Last season, Ehlinger vaulted from a borderline starting-caliber quarterback for Texas football to one of the best in the nation by the time bowl season ended. His efficiency with more than 40 total touchdowns and less than 10 turnovers was insane. He pretty much completely patched his turnover flaws he had from his freshman season on the Forty Acres and won a New Year’s Six Bowl over the Georgia Bulldogs in the process.
