Stop us if you’ve heard this one before, but an undersized, standout quarterback from Lake Travis wasn’t offered a scholarship by the Texas Longhorns and went on to success in the Big 12.
Sound familiar? If so, that’s because those are the stories of former Heisman winner Baker Mayfield, who walked on at Texas Tech and then at his favorite childhood school, Oklahoma, and Baylor’s Charlie Brewer.
If you watched ESPN’s broadcast of the game, you surely knew that Brewer was from Lake Travis and that his father was a Texas quarterback, and that the Longhorns never offered Brewer a scholarship.
