Winston, Florida State’s redshirt freshman phenom, told ESPN’s Max Olsen in a 2012 interview that he wanted desperately to go to Texas, but couldn’t get the Longhorns to acknowledge he even existed.
CBS Sports’ Bruce Feldman confirmed with Winston’s high school coach that the quarterback had called Texas “four or five” times and never received a call back.
Remember, this is the same Mack Brown that wanted the last two Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks – Baylor’s Robert Griffin III and Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel – to play defensive back for the Longhorns.
Winston
could potentially be a third Heisman Trophy winning QB to get the snub
by Brown and his staff. And they wonder why they’ve been “rebuilding”
for the past few years.
Wait Mack Brown wanted RG3 and Johnny Football to play defensive back? Who does Texas have under center this year? Some dude name David Ash who threw 2 picks against New Mexico State. This Winston kid is a phenom that wanted to go to Texas and would have ignored all other schools. I guess Brown has some blackmail information on the Texas Board of Regents or something.
