Texas Football: What’s the true potential for Sam Ehlinger in 2018?

Texas football enters fall camp on Aug. 3 with the main focal point of the practices will be on the quarterback battle between junior Shane Buechele and sophomore Sam Ehlinger. Two freshmen between Newcastle, OK, native Casey Thompson and Newbury Park, CA, native Cameron Rising. However, we’re not likely to see either Thompson or Rising until later in the season.

Head Texas football coach Tom Herman might be willing to give Thompson and/or Rising a look if the Horns are up big in Week 2 against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. Meaningful action is likely to be reserved for either Buechele or Ehlinger, though.
