That may seriously end up being 3 Heisman winners in a row

This isn't exactly right. He said he wanted to go to Texas at one point but they never offered.

Meh. He also said he was an OU fan but he wanted to go to Texas so he's probably just talking out his arse.

LEs needs to go find whatever QB Mac Brown is recruiting as a safety and get him to sign as a QB. Just to see what happens

Obviously he was playing the recruiting game, but I was just pointing out that "texas did not offer" was the point of the OP.

I don't believe this one bit, he took John Chiles and Case McCoy at qb and they don't come close to Winston as a passer.

The op isn't trolling. This is exactly the truth. Think about this for a second. Mack browns starting quarterback could've been rg3. Back up Qb: manziel.

Who doesn't offer the #1 QB in the country when he expresses interest in your school?

Most of the recruiting services said Texas talked to him a few times but it never went anywhere. No idea what REALLY happened and I'd bet not many do.

If you look at his page on Rivals it shows the schools he was interested in as...

Looks like there was more than a little bit of truth to it. If his high school coach is legit, and there is no reason to think he isn't, this is pretty embarrassing for Mac Brown.
