Texas will miss Shane Buechele’s leadership and football IQ

Call it mutual admiration. Reciprocity.

The rise of Sam Ehlinger as the starting quarterback for the Texas Longhorns relegated Shane Buechele to a backup role during the 2018 season, leading to his transfer on Thursday, but Buechele never wavered in his commitment to program and head coach Tom Herman never wavered in his admiration for Buechele. Neither did Ehlinger.

Words cannot describe how thankful I am for everything you taught me on and off the field. Thank you for everything. Can’t wait to watch you tear it up next year.
