Damn. Days after his brother gets drafted. Horrible swing of emotions for the family. Heartbreaking.

That's terrible

I don't know if Sam has any other siblings but for a family to lose a dad at a young age then a 20 year old kid.

That's tough

There aren't many longhorns that I respect, but Sam Ehlinger is one of them.

That photo of him being the only player in front of their band after the loss to OU (while he scored 6 TDs and had 400 total yards...) when they played The Eyes of Texas showed me what kind of character he has. I severely dislike that song, but I respect the hell out of him for standing up for his university in the face of garbage marxist and racist divisions.

no matter what the cause of death is I feel terrible for Sam and his family.

I watched the end of that game, he seemed to be the only guy on their team that cared. He almost single-handedly kept them in that game. He kept getting hit, and kept getting up, the kid's got grit. My thoughts go out to him during such a trying time.

I didn't care for Sam because he's a sip QB, but watching him be the only one out there after a loss showed me his love of his school was well beyond the locker room, and because of that, I will always respect him.

I didn't know he lost his father when he was a teen, and to have to deal with this just days after the highest of highs...I can't imagine. I pray this family is able to find the answers they need for closure and comfort. I also hope he enjoys a long healthy life with his sister and mother.

I'm sure the full story will come out in time, but I don't think now is the time for speculation. "Not suspicious" could just mean no obvious trauma to the body. Considering his dad was in apparent excellent health and died of a heart attack in the midst of a triathlon, I don't think a health issue can be ruled out.


I'm not speculating.

I'm feeling terrible for the family here. The person I worry about most is the mother.

How one could even get our of bed after losing a husband and son in unexpected and untimely deaths.


Very sad

I loved watching Ehlinger play and genuinely hope he does well at the next level. T&Ps to his family.

With all sincerity, I am sure Sam is a great son, and will help her through it. She is blessed in that way.

Horrible for the Ehlinger family. I really have a ton of respect for the family as a whole and Sam as a player, student and leader.

Family will never release the COD officially most likely. But appears to be an opioid related OD. And if he had a diagnosed heart conditon...this certainly didn't improve with increased risk factors.

Just so sad and my prayers continue to go out to the family regardless of the COD. The Ehlingers have gone through a lot and we can all learn something from their losses.

Unfortunately I heard it was most likely pills he got that were laced with fentanyl or something else...apparently going around right now in downtown Austin. Sad

I don't understand the whole lacing drugs with fentanyl. Seems pretty stupid to kill off your customers.

To get people hooked on opioids. He might have been more sensitive to it than most or maybe the batch he got had too much laced in. Sad situation.

Dealers aren't trying to kill anybody with their products. Fentanyl is so concentrated that just a little insufficient mixing can create random higher doses that can be lethal. Can't tell by looking and the only way to avoid it is to have proper mixing equipment and a thorough QC program, neither of which is going to be the case with street drugs.

Thoughts and prayers to the Ehrlinger family. We lost a nephew earlier this year to the same situation. He had been released from jail about 24 hours. It hurts.
