A dream come true for some Nebraska football fans, a QB from Texas (and a 4 star recruit at that) has decided to trek north and make a home for himself in Lincoln.
Casey Thompson spent three years with Texas. The first two years he sat behind the starting QB Sam Ehlinger while learning the system and getting ready to prove himself.
Thompson did that in a big way this year throwing for 2,113 yards on 165/261 attempts (63.2% completion rate). He threw for 24 TD's to only 9 INT. He also ran the ball for 4 TD's this past season.
Most impressive is how he managed to win the starting job at Texas away from Hudson Card mid-season. Thompson would finish the season as the starter and Texas would finish the year going 5-7.
