Longhorns QB Sam Ehlinger fulfills childhood dream for late father | College GameDay

[@crisl6327]

I hope this kid leads Texas to the victory against Georgia, i hope he gets drafted and has a long career, he deserves it.

[@wacovington0]

He did it!

[@brettwalsh236]

I hope he stays all 4 yrs

[@darren_baldwin]

HE DID IT!

[@robertrude3573]

Tebowish

[@carsonolds]

he did.

[@christ.7471]

The kid is burnt orange thru and thru. This program is taking on his personality, no flash or thrills just hard nose discipline and physical. They will line up and out work you. I think Texas is going to be fun to watch the next few years.

[@tylerraisl3939]

I couldn't agree more! I feel the same way! Well said cause it's true!

[@GirthNorwitzki]

Your dad would be proud of you, Sam. All of Longhorn nation is.

[@MrMechling45]

Thomas Pope now everyone is proud.

[@walmart4392]

he is my favorite quarterback in college and i’m an ou fan from oklahoma

[@mloutherback]

Class.

[@icegamer7486]

What a tragic story.. best of luck today Sam, shock the world.

[@turkishdelight6032]

No days off Well...he sure did

[@fordhumphreys419]

Sooner fan here. This video gave me tons of respect for him now

[@Tyler12572]

I went to high school with sam and he was an awesome guy. he was a freaking beast at Westlake. every Friday night football game, he would just lead us to victory every time. he's an awesome guy. he gets so much crap from the haters when he looses against OU or another team but people don't know how dedicated sam is

[@Tyler12572]

did i say that?? no lol. all i said was that he gets a load of hate when all he wants to do is play football. try understanding my comment

[@Tyler12572]

but this stupid thing is that isn't even relevant so idk why you brought that up?

[@Tyler12572]

well from my 4 years at Westlake I'm pretty sure I went to one of the best high schools in Texas for education. but ya know 😑.

[@Tyler12572]

why comment something so negative on a positive video? your the kind of guy that just wants to ruin all things positive. go somewhere else

[@Tyler12572]

lol shut up I'm 20 years old. ok cool hook'em! I bet your like 14

[@patricklynch6811]

I’m a huge Georgia fan in fact I was at the sugar bowl this year when Texas played Georgia. I was mad that we lost but I’m happy that Sam Ehlinger accomplished something special. Sugar Bowl MVP.

[@iCritz]

Congrats on the win, we respect you Sam, from the Buckeye Nation.

This made me more emotional than I care to admit.. As a Colts fan I feel proud to have him as our QB1.

[@cia.0034]

Im a uga fan been following him since hs he a great qb

[@stevesherlock5334]

Lost my dad my senior season.. I feel it Sam. You feel the need to make your dad proud every day just like I do.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@AnnaRuby23]

As a lifelong TCU fan & recent TCU alum I have my rivalry mindset but this is awesome. Cant help but root for this kid.

[@jrods2268]

Lost money on Texas first game of the season and judged this guy harshly. Feel like a dip shit now because he has turned that program around and now know this small part of his story I got nothing but respect and am rooting for him against anyone except Bama. Kid is the toughest QB I’ve seen since Tebow. Hookem Horns! I will be watching all his games. Unless Bama is on!

[@rubentellez7532]

What a great family this guy has. No wonder he is such a great kid

[@chalebmiller1156]

She is so strong for being able to talk about it without crying

[@tigerjr7587]

My dad passed away at 46 yrs old i was 18 at the time. Keep being awesome Sam.

Such a touch story. You have a wonderful guardian angel watching over you! You’re dad would be so proud of the wonderful young man you have become! 🤘🏼🧡

I hope this guy can win a Hiesman or a big 12 championship in his time at UT. HOOK 'EM

[@leomolina1623]

As a Longhorn fan, I admire this dude and all he has done on the field, he's a beast. I pray that you guys,(Longhorns), have a season without any serious injuries. Can't wait to see you guys beat LSU and Oklahoma. Good Luck!

[@radicalhindu]

Nasty Bastard I buy it Texas has the upset capacity. Tom Herman loves the underdog role.

[@leo29hornsfan]

I miss living in Austin and being a Longhorns season ticket holder for the 2008 season. Sam Ehlinger is a stud and the way he plays the game with his intensity makes me proud to be a die hard fan again despite there downfall. I hope that Cameron Rising will follow in his footsteps and take the reigns to a national championship game when Ehlinger leaves for the draft.

[@cyncus1]

Sam is a great role model for all out there, regardless of age. Nothing but respect for the young man.

[@orangepasta99]

I believe he just lost his brother recently. Losing 1 family member is tough, but 2 is horrible. Wishing Sam all the best in his future career within the NFL.

[@francoramirez5055]

Got to see this dude play against my Trojans in the coliseum...hope to see him in the NFL

Sam is an amazing person, not just an all-American ball player. I hope he succeeds whatever he does. If he keeps at it we may see our boys in some pretty big name games. Sam really does make Texas a dark horse team.

Is it okay to love the Longhorns and ZZ Top both? Their both Texas institutions, right? I ask because I understand ZZ Top melted DKR's plastic field 45 years ago and feelings got hurt.
