SAN ANTONIO -- Texas football coach Tom Herman's response to the question about Sam Ehlinger returning for his senior season should not surprise anyone, but it is worth passing along.
Q. Tom, about Sam, he said yesterday he's going to seek out info from the draft advisory board, which guys like that probably should do. What is your thought on Sam's future? Do you expect Sam to be here in 2020?
Herman: "Oh, absolutely. He's already gotten those results back, yeah. But I do think he's got a tremendous future at the next level. Again, I'll say it as many times as I need to: he sees the game as good as any I've coached. Having coached some really good quarterbacks in my day, that's certainly no slight on them, it's a testimony to him and his intelligence, his toughness. That's going to go a long way at the next level."
