Garrett Gilbert is an ex-Longhorn.

Former Texas starting quarterback Garrett Gilbert must have felt unwelcome after losing his starting job. He has asked for, and has been granted his release from the Longhorn program. Where Gilbert winds up is unknown, but where he was reportedly found Wednesday might be a little hint of things to come.

"UT has provided him an unconditional release. UT did not say where Gilbert would transfer. There were some reports on Twitter that Gilbert was spotted at SMU’s practice in Dallas today."

Gilbert going from being a Longhorn to being a Mustang might turn a few heads. Whether or not he becomes Craig James' new best friend is another subject for another day.
