Texas being back may depend on Sam Ehlinger's health given recent QB uncertainty regarding transfers

Even more than normal, Texas fans may be wincing on every hit that Sam Ehlinger takes.
While the health of the starting quarterback is always a major concern, it may be paramount at Texas next season.

The jam-packed quarterback room could become a ghost town (cue the tumbleweeds) soon. Junior backup Shane Buechele has entered the NCAA’s ever-busy transfer portal and looks to be departing as a grad transfer with two years of eligibility remaining. Freshman Cameron Rising, viewed as a nice recruiting coup a year ago, is leaving now. Fellow freshman Casey Thompson remains undecided about staying, something he emphatically stated Thursday on Twitter despite reports he would stay around.
