The Ehlinger brothers could spend the next two years playing together on the Forty Acres, as the Texas Longhorns extended a preferred walk-on opportunity to Austin Westlake inside linebacker Jake Ehlinger on Monday:
Jake is the younger brother of sophomore quarterback Sam Ehlinger, who has emerged as the clearcut starter and one of the Big 12’s best players at his position this season.
The younger Ehlinger is a 6’0, 210-pounder who doesn’t have the ideal size or speed to earn major scholarship offers, but he does have offers from Brown, Penn, and the University of the Incarnate Word.
