Quinn Ewers: The Longhorns’ Future Star Quarterback
Quinn Ewers, the talented quarterback for the Texas Longhorns, made a crucial decision in the offseason that has set the stage for his future in football. Despite considering entering the 2024 NFL Draft, Ewers decided to return to Texas for another season, citing the need for more experience and development before making the leap to the professional level.
In a press conference at SEC Media Days in Dallas, Ewers explained his reasoning for staying in college for another year. “I think one of the main things for me was getting more experience under my belt,” Ewers said. “There is a line of demarcation for guys who really have success in the league, and I wanted to give myself a better chance at a long and successful career in the NFL. I don’t want to be a guy that just comes and goes. I want to be remembered.”
Ewers, who will be making his 23rd career start in the upcoming season opener against Colorado State, has already shown promise on the field. Last season, he passed for 3,479 yards with 22 touchdowns and six interceptions, showcasing his talent and potential as a top quarterback prospect.
One of the key matchups on Texas’ schedule this season is a road game against defending national champion Michigan. Ewers, who began his college career at Ohio State before transferring to Texas, is familiar with the intensity of the rivalry between the two teams. “To be the best, you’ve got to play the best. We’re all fired up to go up to Ann Arbor,” Ewers said. “I understand the rivalry.”
Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian praised Ewers for his development both on and off the field, highlighting his leadership qualities and confidence. “He’s changed his body, he looks great, he understands the system,” Sarkisian said. “But the thing I’m probably most proud of him about is his leadership. He’s our leader, and we can unequivocally say that about Quinn Ewers.”
As Ewers prepares for another season with the Longhorns, all eyes will be on the talented quarterback as he looks to lead his team to success on the field and cement his legacy as a standout player in college football. With his decision to return for another year, Ewers has set himself up for a bright future in the sport, with the potential to make a lasting impact at both the collegiate and professional levels.
