Westlake High (Austin) quarterback Sam Ehlinger committed to the Texas Longhorns back in July, and a highlight tape from his junior season shows just how impressive the three-star product could be once he arrives on the 40 Acres.
Check out the highlight film above to see for yourself how good Ehlinger as he helped like the Chaps to the state championship game.
Here's an analysis from our executive editor, Wescott Eberts:

Bc wow, nice not to have to waste time watching average highlights early in a recruit's film. Sam Ehlinger kinda looks like a 4*. #justkinda

Now 4:00 or so in and have watched #Texas QB commit Sam Ehlinger deliver like 12 tough passes on the money while getting hit. No joke.

Westlake OL, WRs aren't giving Sam Ehlinger much time, separation on these throws. On time, in rhythm, on money, into some tight windows.

About four instances of impressive jump passes from Sam Ehlinger in scramble/pressure situations. Tim Tebow has nothing on these, either.

This ball goes to a wide-open WR with no apparent wobble, full extension on the release. I mean... pic.twitter.com/VFAzkv0bvm

No matter what happens with the quarterbacks currently on campus, Ehlinger has next and since he's a lifetime Longhorn, there's no chance that he's going anywhere else as long as Texas still wants him. And Texas will still want him.
Now, about that Looney Tunes three-star rating of his...
