Former Texas quarterback Garrett Gilbert has decided to transfer to SMU.

Gilbert announced he was transferring after losing his starting job and undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery, but had not decided which school to enroll in. He will not be allowed to play for the Mustangs until 2013, but his injury will allow him to apply for a medical redshirt, which would give him another year of eligibility.

Texas QB Garrett Gilbert underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair damage to his right throwing shoulder.

"We’re disappointed for Garrett that he won’t be able to help us on the field the rest of this season," Mack Brown said. "He’s a tough kid that fought through some pain to continue to play, but when doctors told him the injury was something that needed to be taken care of, we fully supported him in doing that." A second-team All-Big 12 Academic selection in 2010, Gilbert completed 305-of-538 (56.6%) passes for 3,301 yards in 14 career starts, including eleven 200-yard passing games.

Texas quarterback Garrett Gilbert was dropped to third string for Saturday’s game at UCLA. Case McCoy will make his first-career start.

The writing was on the wall when Gilbert was removed during the second quarter of the Longhorns’ win over BYU after completing two of his eight passes for a meager eight yards. Gilbert did not return as McCoy and David Ash completed the game. Ash is also expected to play against the Bruins. McCoy, a sophomore, was 7-of-8 for 57 yards giving him 11 career attempts.

Coach Mack Brown named junior Garrett Gilbert Texas' starting quarterback Monday.

Gilbert was not guaranteed of retaining his job after throwing 17 interceptions and 10 touchdowns last season for the 5-7 Longhorns. After starting all 12 games last season, he had to go up against three challengers in spring and fall drills. However, of that trio, only Case McCoy (Colt's younger brother) has attempted a pass. At that, only one career attempt. The sophomore was tabbed as Gilbert top backup.
