Texas Football: MLB star Mark Teixeira commends Sam Ehlinger’s fundraiser

The novel coronavirus pandemic has stricken the sports world like it has every other phase of life around the world in the last month or so. And the starting quarterback of the Texas football program, to-be senior Sam Ehlinger, is trying to help out in a big way in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak.

A former Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets baseball player and MLB star infielder Mark Teixeira commended Ehlinger on his efforts to help out during the COVID-19 outbreak. Teixeira tweeted his praise for Ehlinger’s relief efforts on his page on April 11, and he mentioned head coach Tom Herman along with the official page of the Texas Longhorns football program.
