Assuming Ehlinger remains healthy and continues the same path of progress as he has each year, he could undoubtedly lead Texas to the college football playoffs in his senior season. Although quarterbacks Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence are the clear front-runners, it’s hard to bet against Ehlinger.
By the end of the 2019 season, Ehlinger quietly surpassed Longhorn legend Vince Young in career total offense, single season passing yards, and total touchdowns.
Ehlinger will have a plethora of weapons to play alongside this season, including five-star running back Bijan Robinson and promising running back and wide receiver Jordan Whittington. Left tackle Sam Cosmi will also be returning to anchor the offensive line.
