Former Texas quarterback Vince Young was arguably the best to ever play at his position, it likely came as no surprise that he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2019.

As a junior, Young was given the Davey O’Brien award for the best quarterback in the nation. If you’ve seen the historic fourth-down scramble in the 2006 Rose Bowl to win the National Championship, it’s clear that Young’s dual-threat ability was unparalleled.

These particular accolades don’t happen without having incredible individual statistics. Although former quarterback Colt McCoy had an impressive four-year career at Texas and continues to hold numerous records, current quarterback Sam Ehlinger has quietly passed Young in several categories.

Young declared for the NFL Draft as a junior, while Ehlinger has just completed his junior season with the program. Within those three respective seasons, Ehlinger has moved ahead of Young in career total offense, single season passing yards, and total touchdowns.

Surpassing a Hall of Famer’s numbers are always worth noting, right?

Total Offense Yards

Ehlinger: 10,400

Young: 9,167

Total Touchdowns

Ehlinger: 93

Young: 81

Single Season Passing Yards

Ehlinger: 3,663 in 2019

Young: 3,036 in 2005

It’s easy to see why Vince Young and Colt McCoy remain the pride and joy of Austin, TX. But if Ehlinger continues to improve throughout his senior season, there’s no doubt that he will leave a similar legacy behind.

All he’s missing is a National Championship now.
