A sizable loss of depth in the quarterback room emerged for Texas football this week, with the news that Ja’Quinden Jackson is entering the transfer portal.
One of the biggest overarching storylines for next offseason in the Texas football program will be figuring out the quarterback battle. With Texas and fourth-year head coach Tom Herman/first-year offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich set to lose senior star quarterback Sam Ehlinger to the NFL Draft in all likelihood, this position battle is about to take center stage next offseason.
Ehlinger was the starting quarterback for Herman and the Longhorns, and the leader for this offense as a whole, for the better part of the last three or four years.
