Class of 2022 quarterback Drew Dickey has plenty of links to the University of Texas. His father went to school there, and being an Austin native, Dickey has been to Texas Memorial Stadium many times.
Tom Herman took over as head coach of the Longhorns in 2017 and was expected to bring the program back to prominence, but Maryland football stood in the way. Dickey explicitly remembers the Terps knocking off Texas in consecutive upsets in 2017 and 2018.
“A lot of people saw Maryland was the real deal and executed at a high level,” Dickey told Testudo Times.
