Fuck.  Just a kid. 

Most of us probably only really knew him as Sam's little brother.  Looking forward to more tributes like Overshown's to shed light on who he was as his own person.  

I too have spent a good chunk of the evening fighting back tears.  Wish we could take away some of the pain from this poor family.  What more can you say.  Fuck this.

Came here to Surly to express my deepest condolences to the Ehlingers, Longhorn Nation, and all who love Jake. We love our players, even if we don't know them personally, and this is just so sad. May Jake rest in peace, and rise in glory. 

I've spent the last hour with my not yet two year old boy in my arms reading these tributes. I cannot comprehend what those who know and love him are feeling. Healing and love for the Elhingers and enjoy the Joy Jake. Hook 'em!

This is beyond sad, t&p for all of the family and friends.

Board the train, we're all right there with you...

My daughter (UT grad 2014) texted me as she is just finding out. I am at the gym trying to work out and hold the tears back. Wish my kids were in hugging distance. Told her I love her. Sending my love to my son now.

RIP Jake and god bless that family.  I have kids in that west campus circle and they knew Jake well ... just tragic.   Hits very close to home and I can’t imagine ever getting that phone call.  Not going to post what I’m hearing right now ... just want my flock home (and safe) for the summer.  
 


 

Good lord, those photos. Wishing the Ehlinger family peace. Terrible, terrible news.

With mother's day this weekend, there must be something creative that Longhorn Nation can due to rally around Ms. Ehlinger.

That was a pretty great message from Overshown.

Yeah, that was hard to read but lovely at the same time.  Jake obviously had an impact.  Thanks, DO.

Man, I’m just so sad. Sad for a young man losing his life before it really even started. Sad for a family that’s already been through unspeakable tragedy. Sad seeing those pictures of Jake and Sam as little boys and thinking of my two little boys. I’m just damn sad. Prayers to the Ehlinger family, the team and all of Longhorn Nation as we navigate through this.

No words for this. 

My God I just can't imagine the pain.

For all the shit he's gotten about his social media presence, that was heartfelt and just lovely.

Wow, that’s awesome. At a time when words are hard to come by, those are perfect.

Thoughts and prayers for the Texas and Ehlinger families.

Wow!  Such sad, heartbreaking and devastating news.  You can tell by the tributes that he was well loved among his teammates.  His family has had to endure too much.  Prayers for Sam, his mom, his sister and all of those who knew and loved him.  May they all be comforted by God's grace, love and mercy.  RIP Jake.

No parent should have to bury their child. So awful. 

On Mothers day weekend. 

Overshown’s words were remarkably sincere and eloquent for a young man of his age. To know what it means to share your time on earth with the people who matter to you is wisdom many don’t ever grasp. He’s a good man.

I cant say anything that hasnt already been said. This is fucking awful any way you slice it

 

One thing is for sure... im betting the house on us scoring 7 TDs in our opener against ULLa.... and taking a knee instead of kicking the last extra point
