BOCA RATON, Fla. — Former Nebraska and Texas quarterback Casey Thompson has found a new home.
Florida Atlantic announced Thursday that Thompson has committed to the Owls.
The move reunites Thompson with new head coach Tom Herman, who recruited him to Texas out of high school.
Thompson was 4-6 as the starting quarterback at Nebraska in 2022. He spent his first four seasons at Texas, redshirting his first year on campus in 2018.

Herman was head coach at Texas from 2017-20.
The 2023 season will be Thompson's sixth and final season of eligibility.
