The Texas football program tended to shy away from speaking out about the recent uproar of paying some of the more profitable college athletes, especially among some of the more prominent football and basketball programs in the nation. That was until rising junior Texas football quarterback Sam Ehlinger gave his opinion to the college football landscape on March 7.
Texas football had a very prominent 2018 campaign which can bring up some questions during the off-season as to the value of some of the top players on the team. In terms of a true Heisman contending star for the 2019 season like Ehlinger, the spotlight can shine very bright on him for the entirety of the long off-season, especially as we make our way into spring camp and the spring football game on the Forty Acres.
