Texas QB Casey Thompson enters transfer portal

[Grandpa Zorro]

I have always believed that experience is a valuable commodity in HS and college sports.  If a kid is a 3 or 4 year starter he will usually be a valuable contributor. That’s why “some” of these portal kids are getting serious interest.  If they hit the portal with a year or 2 of starting experience, schools are looking hard at them.

All that to say…I would love for the Horns to get a starting QB and keep him  for 2/3 years.  Seems like lately we have a new starting QB every year.

I expect Card to follow suit soon.

Card very well might, but compared to Thompson, Card's eligibility will likely outlast Ewer's time on campus. 

Card had covid year in 2020, burned a year this past season. He could potentially be Ewer's back up and redshirt one of the next 2 years if not needed in 4 or more games. If Ewer's leaves in 2 years, Card could still have 2 years of eligibility left.

Woke up this morning, drinking some coffee after a night of drinking and yep, this news still sucks.

You could say this about Ewers also

Neither Card or Thompson are what UT needs next season and Thompson knew he would not be a starter. I'll go with Ewers because he chooses to come here. Good luck to Thompson even though he chooses to not be here.

Ewers comes from a zone read offense in high school, we might run into the same issues with him as well when it comes to running Sarks west coast offense

Looking forward I see other QB's, I realize we are losing ground in the Arch Manning sweepstake, but if we turn it around somehow and Ewers plays like everyone expects him to, Sark will look like a genius and put us right back into it. And if that doesn't work there is always MM.

Casey to Nebraska.

 

[General Hooker]

Casey to Nebraska.

I think this is a good choice for both. I hope he does well there.
