Plus: Texas volleyball readies for Houston tonight
The East-West Shrine Bowl has named Texas Longhorns tight end Gunnar Helm its latest “Texas Star of the Week” following a stellar Week 2 performance against the Michigan. Helm a senior, reeled in a team-high 98 yards on a personal best seven receptions last weekend.
On his first TD throw, Quinn Ewers didn’t even watch Gunnar Helm catch it. As soon as he released it, he either turned to the LOS marker …or turned to say something to Michigan DT Kenneth Grant.
