AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Texas linebacker Jake Ehlinger, the younger brother of former Longhorns quarterback Sam Ehlinger, has been found dead near the Austin campus.

Police say officers responded to a call shortly after noon Thursday.

Police did not detail how they found him, but said the death is not considered suspicious. No cause of death was immediately released.
