Heard not going anywhere

When Texas finally does officially name Charlie Strong as its next head coach, don’t expect Jerrod Heard to start exploring other options.

After a strong performance in the U.S. Army All-American Game, the four-star Denton Guyer quarterback told reporters that he is happy with Strong taking over for Mack Brown and his verbal commitment is still strong.

Great stuff from Jerrod Heard (@JHeard2). Not reopening his recruiting. If Charlie Strong is named new #Horns HC, called him “a great hire.”

This season, Heard passed for 2,136 yards, rushed for 2,161 yards and scored 49 total touchdowns en route to leading Denton Guyer to its second consecutive state title. Tabbed as the next Vince Young, Heard is ranked as the No. 4 dual-threat quarterback in the nation and No. 9 overall player in the state.

Heard originally committed to Texas in the summer over offers from Arizona State, Baylor, LSU, Ohio State and others. Last month, Heard told Rivals.com that he was ‘pretty sure’ he was with Texas after Mack Brown announced his resignation.

“It’s more than just one person and I’ll just be patient and see who they bring in,” he said. “I wish Coach Brown the best. I’m just going to finish my high school career and see who they bring in.”

It looks like Heard has no problem with Strong taking over.
