Texas Football: Who’s Sam Ehlinger’s backup QB?

The Texas football program is trying to explore its options heading into spring camp for what to do with a different looking quarterback room than it had this past season. Texas football lost two key quarterbacks from the 2018 roster heading into the 2019 off-season.

Moreover, Texas football had three quarterbacks altogether put their names into the NCAA Transfer Portal this off-season. Two of them have transferred elsewhere while one is returning to the Texas football program for the 2019 campaign. Second-year former four-star dual-threat quarterback Casey Thompson is returning, while the other two transfer candidates are out of the picture.
