Texas Longhorns QB Prospect Turned FAU Graduate Transfer
Ben Ballard, a 2019 Texas Longhorns signee from Austin's Hyde Park Baptist, saw minimal college action at Texas before transferring as a graduate to FAU in January 2023 to reunite with coach Tom Herman—highlighting his loyalty and coachability. High school Hudl highlights showcase his poised pocket presence, quick release, and mobility, batting .270 as a two-way athlete per MaxPreps 2019 stats. With no standout FBS production, his differentiator is veteran savvy and upside as a developmental QB; a smart fit for teams needing accurate, cerebral backups without injury red flags.
