HUNTSVILLE -- Rhett Bomar, who passed for 2,018 yards and 10
touchdowns as a freshman quarterback for the University of Oklahoma last
year, has enrolled at Sam Houston State University.

Director of Athletics Bobby Williams and Head Football Coach Todd
Whitten announced Bomar's decision to attend Sam Houston State Monday.

"This is a unique situation and we look forward to assisting Rhett
in continuing his education and athlete career. We will begin the
restatement process for Rhett with the NCAA as soon as possible," Williams
said. "There is no exact time table for how long this process will take, but
we will do everything possible to expedite the procedure."

The 6-2, 215 pound quarterback from Grand Prairie, earned "Most
Valuable Player" honors in last year's Holiday Bowl where he led the Sooners
to victory over Oregon. Bomar led Oklahoma to victories over Kansas State,
Kansas, Baylor, Nebraska, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma State during the regular
season.

"We're happy to welcome Rhett as a Bearkat," Whitten said. "He is a
good student and a good athlete and we are glad to have him here in the
program."

Transfer quarterbacks have had success at Sam Houston State before.
Chris Chaloupka (Oklahoma State), Josh McCown (SMU), and Dustin Long (Texas
A&M) all became Southland Conference "Players of the Year" for the Bearkats.


Chaloupka passed for 2,503 yards and 21 touchdowns in 1999. McCown
and Long both earned NCAA Division I-AA All-America honors in 2001 and 2004,
respectively, leading Sam Houston to Southland Conference titles and the
I-AA national playoffs.

McCown passed for 3,481 yards and 32 touchdowns in 2001. leading the
Kats to the NCAA Division I-AA quarterfinals. Long threw for 4,588 yards and
39 touchdowns, taking Sam Houston to the NCAA Division I-AA semifinals.

This is alarming news for UT fans! We must remember Bomar has played us before and knows our personnel better than the other players and he can help them get better prepared. That increases the risk and makes this game much more dangerous indeed.
First UT fans we must stay focused on NT. Let's not get ahead. One game at a time. Go Horns! Beat NT!

That first game for SHSU is going to be a media circus.

Sam Houston says they're not sure about his eligibility for this season or next yet...so I doubt he'll be doing much come the UT game.

We can't be sure. Remember he can give first hand information to the team even if he doesn't play and that can be dangerous indeed.

I remember a coach at SHSU once saying, and I quote, "We will never again recruit big time qb's out of high school"

I guess he was correct, there is no need.
