Texas redshirt sophomore linebacker Jake Ehlinger, the younger brother of former Longhorn quarterback Sam Ehlinger, was found dead Thursday afternoon, according to a report from the Austin American-Statesman.
Police were called at 12:18 p.m. and found Jake several blocks from UT’s campus, police told the Statesman, adding that his death is not considered suspicious. Police did not reveal how he was found.
Ehlinger walked on at Texas in 2019 and played alongside his brother, Sam, for two seasons with the Longhorns. He did not receive playing time in his two years at Texas and redshirted the 2020 season.
This is the second death of an immediate family the Ehlingers have experienced in the last decade. Jake and Sam’s father, Ross, unexpectedly passed away in 2013 during the “Escape from Alcatraz” triathlon in San Francisco.
