Texas football: Sam Ehlinger received more than 3,000 messages after having his number leaked

AUSTIN -- Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger had his phone number leaked by LSU fans in the lead-up to the Longhorns 45-38 loss to the Tigers. 

It’s unclear how exactly the number was leaked on social media, but Ehlinger was bombarded with spam calls and texts starting on Thursday evening. Barely an hour later, Ehlinger simply turned his phone off. ESPN's Maria Taylor first reported the news.
