Texas Offers 2017 Austin Westlake QB Sam Ehlinger
Sam Ehlinger was asked to be patient. For a teenager, that’s asking a lot. The Texas coaches asked him to be patient, and that a scholarship offer to his dream school would eventually come his way. Sam plays his high school football at local Austin powerhouse Westlake High School. He was born and raised in Austin and has had family who attended Texas. Given that Texas has missed on two previous Westlake quarterbacks that have gone on to the NFL (Drew Brees and Nick Foles) there was no way they were missing out again.
With his athletic ability certainly no longer in doubt after a excruciating evaluation process, Ehlinger’s patience finally paid off.
