Tom Herman’s first big recruits for Texas Football are officially on the Longhorns roster.

Incoming freshmen QB Sam Ehlinger and RB Toneil Carter are early enrollees, along with transfer kicker Joshua Rowland.

Ehlinger is an early enrollee like QB Shane Buechele last year. That allowed Buechele to compete against senior Tyrone Swoopes and eventually win the starting job in 2016.

Meanwhile, Carter must navigate a crowded RB room in 2017, even after D’Onta Foreman left for the NFL.

Will Sam Ehlinger Compete for Buechele’s Spot?

Shane Buechele looked great at the start of his 2016 freshman season.
