In the last collegiate game of Texas, Sam Ehlinger, the Longhorns fan’s shoulder could be injured and not return for the second half of the Valero Alamo Bowl against Colorado. In place of Ehlinger was second-year full-back Casey Thompson.
If Ehlinger moves away, he will drop out of the quarterfinals as one of the Longhorns’ forerunners. The senior captain has the option to return in 2021 given the NCAA’s 1-year freeze of fitness, but Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt said after last weekend’s game that he did not expect this to happen.
“It’s going to be our last time to cover Sam, and even though the election was frozen and Sam would have the option (to return), I just do not feel he will come back,” Klatt said during the fourth quarter of Said Saturday. broadcast. “I think he will move on. Casey Thompson would be involved in Hudson Map, true first-year student no. 1, maybe even Ja’Quinden Jackson in a battle for the quarter-place.
Gus (Johnson), you and I had the chance to call some Sam Ehlinger games and you know, can not say enough about him as a leader and player. ”
Ehlinger is number 2 on the list of overall passive sites of the program Colt McCoy and he is expected to take part in the Reese’s Senior Bowl next month before the injury tonight casts doubt on him.
“He’s all this and a bag of chips, man, I’m just telling you,” Texas coach Tom Herman said about his quarterback in an interview with SiriusXM earlier this fall. ‘If you could design the mental and emotional composition of a quarter, you would not be able to design one better in a laboratory than Sam Ehlinger. He’s in no way perfect, but man, I do not know that there is another man in my life that I want in my fox hole than the guy.
“He’s going to fight, scratch, claw and leave everything on the field – mind, body and soul, not just for this university, but more importantly, for his teammates and the coaches in that locker room that he cares so deeply about.”
