Texas Longhorns quarterback Sam Ehlinger gave a cool nod to Drew Brees before Texas’ Sugar Bowl game in New Orleans on Tuesday.
Walking into the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, which is where Brees’ Saints play their home games, Ehlinger wore Brees’ high school jersey.

Ehlinger played high school football for Westlake High in Austin, Texas — the same school as Brees. Westlake also produced Ravens kicker Justin Tucker and Eagles quarterback Nick Foles. In fact, the Eagles got their trick play used in the Super Bowl from Westlake High School.
