247’s Chris Hummer touched on every FBS QB who is a potential transfer candidate. One of the players he highlighted was Texas QB Shane Buechele. Here’s what he had to say:
“Shane Buechele, Texas – Easily one of the most interesting cases on this list, Buechele could be put in an odd position this offseason. Texas’ season-opening starter the last two years, Buechele’s played well when healthy. In 2017, he completed 65.8 percent of his passes, threw for 1.350 yards and went 3-2 during games in which he played the entire contest. Sounds pretty good for a sophomore quarterback with a spotty offensive line, right? Only problem is Buechele’s backup, Sam Ehlinger, carved out a starting role when Buechele was out with injury. Ehlinger is the better runner of the two and has shown the ability to take more of a beating than Buechele. Also, it doesn't hurt that Tom Herman loves Ehlinger. Those two quarterbacks will again compete in the spring. If Buechele wins the job, which is possible, this section is moot. But if Ehlinger wins, it’ll be interesting to see how Buechele handles things.”

Aftet Ehlinger played most of the year, it’s eady to see why Buechele would think about leaving. A lot of things are in play in this decision. Texas needs to keep him in the fold. Otherwise, there will be a QB room with 1 sophomore, 2 freshmen, and no veterans. Not a good thing.
