Quinn Ewers, Texas, Player News
|
Every position is open for the Texas Longhorns this spring. Every player will earn his starting role. For that reason, Quinn Ewers will compete with Arch Manning and an injured Maalik Murphy. So, too, will Jaylan Ford compete with Jett Bush and Jalen Cat alon compete with Michael Taaffe. There is no quarterback controversy at Texas. Barring an unforeseen collapse by Ewers, the 2022 starter will remain in the starting role in 2023. That's not an indictment of Manning.Ewers is simply primed for a st rong season this year should he put in the work necessary to thrive in the offense. Arch Manning has a bright future on the Forty Acres. He has the traits and athleticism to earn his own statue outside DKR Memorial Stadium by the end of his career. Manni ng is also a freshman, and would likely endure some of the same growing pains Ewers went through last season. Quinn Ewers will likely win the starting job. If he does, Texas should be in good hands. - USA Today

Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers has thrown for 1,808 yards, 14 touchdowns and six interceptions, and completed just 56.6% of his passes. The Longhorns thew for 21 touchdowns. Last year, Texas had 29. The focal point of any passing attack is the quarterbac k. Before spraining his clavicle, Ewers, a redshirt freshman, had great moments against then-No. 1 Alabama in September. And the former five-star recruit was as good as advertised in a 49-0 win over Oklahoma in October. But he also threw for fewer than 2 00 yards in each of his last four games, and in that span he had only three completions of 25 or more yards.Last week, Sarkisian said he's not going to anoint Ewers as the unquestioned starter for next season. Hudson Card, Maalik Murphy and Charle s Wright are on scholarship, and five-star phenom Arch Manning is committed to UT's upcoming recruiting class. Ewers understands that his coach believes offseason position battles are healthy. "I'm ready for any competition," he later told reporters. - A ustin American Statesman

Quinn Ewers threw for three touchdowns, linebacker Jaylan Ford produced two turnovers, and No. 22 Texas rallied in the fourth quarter to beat Iowa State 24-21 on Saturday. Ewers' third touchdown, a 3-yard pass to Xavier Worthy, put Texas up for good with 4:43 remaining. Ford ended Iowa State's chance to re-take the lead, recovering a fumble by Cyclones quarterback Hunter Dekkers deep in Texas territory with 2:28 to play. Moments earlier, it looked like Iowa State might move back in front, but spectacula r receiver Xavier Hutchinson dropped a pass at the Longhorns 9-yard line.Bijan Robinson rushed for 135 yards, his fifth straight game exceeding 100 for Texas (5-2, 3-1 Big 12). The Longhorns snapped snapped a three-game losing streak against the I owa State. The Cyclones (3-4, 0-4) have lost four straight. Iowa State, whose offense has struggled to score this season, had an opportunity to go up 14-0 six minutes into the second quarter. But Dekkers' pass was intercepted in the end zone by Ford. The Longhorns then moved 80 yards to tie the game on a 15-yard pass from Ewers to Worthy. Less than six minutes later, Ewers then connected with Jordan Whittington for a 5-yard touchdown. Texas added a field goal in the third quarter but could not put Iowa State away. First, Dekkers found sophomore Jaylin Noel over the middle for a 54-yard touchdown, his second of the game. The Cyclones took their last lead, 21-17, on Dekkers' 11-yard run up the middle with 10:58 remaining. - Texas/AP College Football

Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers made his return this past weekend after leaving the Alabama game with an injury. Ewers tore apart Oklahoma’s reeling defense, delivering a 49-0 win in the Red River Rivalry and finishing with four touchdowns while completi ng 67% of his passes for 289 yards. He also had a busy few days in the NIL space. Over the course of eight days, he announced five partnerships. First was a seven-figure NFT deal with Metabillia. Then he inked a partnership with Lucchese Bootmaker, gifti ng travel bags to his offensive line. And on Monday was a Sonic social media ad with his wide receiver Xavier Worthy. Now toting a $1.2 million On3 NIL Valuation, Ewers has Texas positioned for a late-season run. And all this could just be setting the ta ble for a major 2023 campaign. - On3.com

The Texas Longhorns overwhelmed rival Oklahoma by a historic margin Saturday, rolling to their largest win in the Red River Showdown's 118-year history with a 49-0 win at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. The Longhorns' first shutout against the Sooners since 1 965 that also handed Oklahoma its first shutout since 1998 earned Texas (4-2) the Cheez-It Bowl National Team of the Week honor for games of the weekend of Oct. 8, as selected by the Football Writers Association of America. It was the third straight hono r for a Big 12 team following K-State and TCU the past two weeks.The Longhorns had 585 total yards - 296 of it on the ground - while their defense held the Sooners to just 195 toal yards with two fourth-down stops, the first early in the game that set the tone in front of the sellout crowd of 92,100. The shutout was Texas' first against Oklahoma since a 19-0 win in 1965 and snapped a four-year losing streak in the series. This is the fourth time for Texas to earn this honor from the FWAA and its first since 2018. It also earned the weekly award in 2015 and 2013 - all four awards have come after defeating Oklahoma. All Division I FBS and FCS schools are eligible to be selected. - Big 12 Football

Quinn Ewers threw for 289 yards and four touchdowns in his return to the Texas lineup and the Longhorns handed Oklahoma its most-lopsided shutout loss ever, 49-0 on Saturday in the first meeting between the Red River rivals since 1998 with neither ranked . Bijan Robinson ran for 130 yards and two touchdowns for the Longhorns (4-2, 2-1 Big 12), who snapped a four-game losing streak in the series that dates to 1900 - a skid that began with the 2018 Big 12 championship game in the only of their 118 meetings outside the regular season. Tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders had two TD catches. While Ewers was back after missing three games, the Sooners (3-3, 0-3) were without starting quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who warmed up but didn't play a week after getting hit i n the head and knocked out of the TCU game because of a concussion. Pitt transfer Davis Beville got the start, but Oklahoma opted for numerous wildcat plays without the quarterback and finished with only 39 yards passing and 195 overall.The 92,100 -seat Cotton Bowl Stadium was full for the start of the annual meeting at the State Fair of Texas, with fans in crimson and burnt orange split at the 50-yard line as usual. But long before this game was over, the Sooners side was emptying while Texas fan s stayed to relish every moment. After a 3-0 start with new coach Brent Venables, Oklahoma has its first three-game losing streak since 1998. The Sooners lost five in a row that season, including an 0-4 start in Big 12 play before a 29-0 loss to Texas A& M that was their last shutout until Saturday. Their largest shutout loss had been 47-0 to Oklahoma State in 1945. Ewers completed 14 of his first 16 passes and finished 21 of 31 in his first action since a collarbone injury he sustained in the first quar ter against top-ranked Alabama four weeks ago. The strong-armed freshman from nearby Southlake, who spent last season at Ohio State, was 9 of 12 for 134 yards against the Crimson Tide before getting hurt. Texas had two 90-yard scoring drives in the first quarter, capped by Robinson's 2-yard run and Xavier Worthy's 10-yard catch. In between those touchdowns, Oklahoma converted a fake field goal, only to get stopped on fourth-and-2 inside the 10 four plays later. - Texas/AP College Football

Quinn Ewers passed for 225 yards and two touchdowns in his debut at quarterback for Texas and the Longhorns rolled over Louisiana-Monroe 52-10 Saturday night in the season-opener for both programs. The win against an overmatched opponent was still a much -needed one for second-year coach Steve Sarkisian after the Longhorns went 5-7 in 2021. Texas next week hosts No. 1 Alabama, where Sarkisian was offensive coordinator when the Crimson Tide won the national championship in 2020. Ewers was one of the top r ecruits in the country out of high school near Dallas but skipped his senior season and enrolled at Ohio State. He was buried on the Buckeyes' depth chart and took just two snaps last season before transferring. He won the starting job over Hudson Card, who was the Texas starter to open the 2021 season.Ewers said he was surprisingly calm in his first college start. "I didn't have any butterflies going into today. A little bit on the first play, but not even as much as I did in high school," Ewers said. "I liked it. I enjoyed the game." Ewers had a solid night despite some struggles to hit deep throws and his biggest plays came on catch-and-run hookups his receivers turned into long gains. His favorite target on the night was tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders, who caught six passes for 85 yards and a first-quarter touchdown. Bijan Robinson finished with 111 total yards on 13 touches, and two third-quarter touchdowns on a 16-yard catch and a 9-yard run. The third-year running back has a touchdown in 12 of his last 13 games. "It's a lot of fun," Ewers said of the Texas offensive and its multiple playmakers. "Especially when things are clicking on all levels." - Texas/AP College Football

Former Ohio State football player Quinn Ewers has been named Texas' starting quarterback for the 2022 season. Ewers originally committed to the Longhorns as the top-rated player in the 2022 class before flipping to the Buckeyes two months after the decis ion. He then proceeded to make a list of significant decisions that eventually landed him in Austin as the starter. The first step towards that was by reclassifying to the 2021 class and enrolling six months earlier than expected as the four scholarship quarterbacks on OSU's roster. He arrived in August just a few days into fall camp, and his time in Columbus lasted about four months, with his only in-game experience coming in the form of two snaps at the end of a long-decided 56-7 home win over Michiga n State.He chose Texas not long after entering the transfer portal, putting him in a battle with Hudson Card, who was the projected starter coming into his third year in the program. Instead, the Ewers era will begin in Austin on Sept. 3 when the Longhorns host ULM. The former perfectly-rated recruit will get his first taste of the national spotlight the following week when Alabama comes to town as the top-ranked team in the preseason Associated Press Top 25 poll. Ewers is one of two quarterbacks from Ohio State's 2021 roster playing for other teams this year but is the only one that's officially been named a starter. Jack Miller is now at Florida, where was projected to serve as a backup to Anthony Richard before undergoing thumb surgery. C.J. Stroud returns as the Buckeyes' starter in 2022, while Kyle McCord is his unquestioned backup. - Cleveland Plain Dealer

The battle for the starting Texas quarterback job is underway in Austin. Competition is bringing out the best in each quarterback. In the minimal footage we have seen, both quarterbacks have been accurate. Nevertheless, one throwing motion caught some at tention. Texas fans are familiar with Hudson Card's strong skillset and passing ability, but recently got to see Quinn Ewers' arm talent on full display. Watching the Southlake Carroll gunslinger passing the ball in Texas practice gear makes it easier to visualize Ewers leading the Longhorns into a real game. Maalik Murphy is certainly a player who could factor into Texas' long-term plans at quarterback as well.Despite last year's inconsistency at quarterback, there is confidence that coach Steve Sarkisian will make the best quarterback decision for this team. Now that he is more knowledgable of his personnel than last season, it could be easier to determine the right quarterback fit. Sarkisian could have his quarterback selected in the next two weeks. - Austin American Statesman

Alabama senator Tommy Tuberville and West Virginia senator Joe Manchin intend to draft a bill to present to Congress that would regulate name, image and likeness activities within college sports, their offices announced Wednesday. The pair of U.S. senato rs sent a letter, dated Wednesday, to SEC commissioner Greg Sankey outlining their current concerns about NIL and asking for the SEC's input. Tuberville's office told AL.com that letters were also sent to a "broad range of stakeholders, including [athlet ics directors], commissioners, student groups, etc." Manchin, a Democrat, is a childhood friend of Alabama coach Nick Saban. Tuberville, a Republican and former Auburn coach, also has a long-standing friendship with Saban.Tuberville told Sports Il lustrated that both he and Manchin have spoken to Saban about the issues surrounding NIL. "I've talked to all my [coaching] buddies. They've never seen anything like it," Tuberville told SI. "When you don't have guidelines and direction, no matter what y ou are doing, you are lost. They are all lost right now." Tuberville told The Paul Finebaum Show later Wednesday that he has spoken to multiple coaches and conference commissioners about the topic. "Joe Manchin and I will take all this information," Tube rville said. "We will try to set some guidelines -- not overreach our bounds, not try to deter anybody making any money [among] student-athletes." - Birmingham News

In 2015, a yearlong power struggle inside the University of Texas administration finally ended and beer started flowing at Royal-Memorial Stadium. Now UT prefers Longhorns fans drink Bud Light. Anheuser-Busch, one of the nation's largest brewers, announc ed Thursday that it will become the "exclusive domestic and craft beer sponsor" of Texas athletics, the Texas Exes alumni association and the AT&T Red River Showdown game against rival Oklahoma. The university has signed a five-year marketing and adverti sing agreement with Anheuser-Busch and Austin-based Brown Distributing. Financial terms were not disclosed. UT signed a similar marketing agreement in 2017 with Constellation Brands, the makers of Corona, the nation's top imported beer.Bud Light w ill release UT-branded packaging in 16-ounce aluminum bottles and 12-ounce cans in the state of Texas starting Sept. 1. Texas fans attending home games at Royal-Memorial Stadium have become accustomed to being able to purchase a beer, but it wasn't too l ong ago that serving beer at college events was virtually unheard of. UT athletics just signed a five-year deal with Anheuser-Busch. In a statement, Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte said the school was "grateful for the commitment" from both Anheu ser-Busch and Brown Distributing, a company that has supported UT athletics for decades. "They're just a fantastic group of folks who are awesome to work with and will absolutely share our devotion to our great Texas fans everywhere," Del Conte said. "We 're so excited to welcome Anheuser-Busch to Longhorn Nation as an official sponsor." - Austin American Statesman

Former five-star recruit Quinn Ewers, who skipped his senior year of high school to enroll at Ohio State in the hopes of cashing in on endorsement deals, has committed to transfer to Texas. A person familiar with Ewers' decision told The Associated Press on Sunday the quarterback had informed Texas coaches he would return to his home state and play for the school he originally committed to before his junior year at Southlake Carroll High School, outside Dallas. The person spoke on condition on anonymity because NCAA rules prohibited Texas from immediately announcing Ewers' decision. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian tweeted his "All Gas, No Brakes" slogan 10 minutes before Ewers' post. The Longhorns went 5-7 this season, their first under Sarkisian. Ewers an nounced Dec. 3 he was entering the transfer portal. Yahoo! Sports first reported Ewers had decided to transfer to Texas. - AP College Football

Ohio State quarterback Quinn Ewers has reportedly agreed to a deal worth more than $1 million with a company that arranges autograph signings. Darren Rovell of The Action Network said Ewers' representatives negotiated the arrangement with GT Sports Marke ting. The deal was later confirmed by ESPN's Tom VanHaaren, who more specifically put the numbers at three years and $1.4 million. Ewers announced earlier this month that he was skipping his senior season of high school in order to enroll early at OSU. At the time, Ewers said it was "not just a financial decision," and he joined the Buckeyes a little over a week after the team started fall camp.The decision by the 6-2, 200-pound Southlake, Texas, native was unusual, but not unprecedented. Due at least in part to his late start, when head coach Ryan Day discussed the backup quarterback position this week, he mentioned only Jack Miller and Kyle McCord as the candidates to take snaps after starter C.J. Stroud for the season opener Thursday against Minnesota. - The Columbus Dispatch

Quinn Ewers has finally touched down in Columbus and joined the Ohio State football program. A university spokesperson confirmed that the five-star quarterback is enrolled in classes and will continue wearing the No. 3 he wore at Southlake Carroll High S chool in Texas. In two seasons as the Dragons' starter, he threw for 6,445 yards and 73 touchdowns while leading them to last season's 6A Division I Texas State Championship game. Carroll lost to Westlake High School, led by Clemson commit Cade Klubnik. Ewers was the top player in the 2022 recruiting class with a perfect star rating but elected to reclassify to cash in on Name, Image and Likeness deals. He still kept that perfect rating after joining the second-ranked 2021 class giving the group four of the top 10 players and seven players rated as five stars. His addition also made Ohio State the first program to sign two five-star quarterbacks in the same cycle. Ewers is joining a quarterback room in the midst of a battle for the starting job between Kyle McCord, Jack Miller and C.J. Stroud. - Cleveland Plain Dealer

Quinn Ewers, the top quarterback prospect in 2022 who was going to show up at OSU next spring, reclassified and announced he would be enrolling at OSU for this fall instead. The reason was so he could take advantage of name, image and likeness opportunit ies to make what his family calculated could be as much as a million dollars. Ewers already has released his first endorsement, Holy Beverages, even before showing up in Columbus. Enrolling early gives him a fast start on learning the Buckeyes' offense. Plus, he gets to bank all the endorsement money he wouldn't have made staying in high school. - Cleveland Plain Dealer

Top quarterback prospect Quinn Ewers reclassified to the 2021 class and announced he will join Ohio State football a year early expressly to capitalize on name, image and likeness revenue opportunities. Turns out he did not even officially need to the jo in the Buckeyes before cashing in. Ewers on Monday released his first endorsement for Holy Beverages on his Twitter page. In the ad, Ewers takes a shotgun snap of a can of the beverage and says he and his family have been drinking Holy Kombucha for a lon g time. "I may be leaving soon to take it to the next level but I made sure to take the best Texas drink company with me," Ewers wrote in his Twitter post. Ewers said he was signing with Holy Beverages and Hope Squad, which is described as a "school-base d peer-to-peer suicide prevention program." - Cleveland Plain Dealer

Ohio State football has found a fourth quarterback for its 2021 roster in Quinn Ewers, who has elected to arrive six months early. The five-star recruit from the Class of 2022 was supposed to be preparing for his senior season at Southlake Carroll High S chool in Texas, but will instead enroll a year early. Ewers is the nation's top player in the class and the highest-rated player Ohio State has ever signed, with a perfect star rating. He's long been viewed as the best high school quarterback prospect si nce Trevor Lawrence, with expectations of one day being the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft. In two years as the Dragons' starting quarterback, he threw for 6,445 yards and 73 touchdowns while leading them to last season's 6A Division I Texas State Champions hip game, where Carroll lost to Westlake High School led by Clemson commit Cade Klubnik.Standing at 6-foot-3 and 206 pounds, Ewers has the ideal size for a quarterback while having a frame that could still put on weight working with OSU strength c oach Mickey Marotti. Ewers has all the tools and can make all the throws. That includes 70-yard passes down the field, making it look easy in the process. That's what stands out about him. Everything he does looks easy and often like he's not trying. His talent level and potential ceiling are why he walked into the Elite 11 competition in July as the favorite to win MVP. But it's also why it was nearly impossible for him to live up to that. - Cleveland Plain Dealer

People who say money drove Quinn Ewers' decision to join Ohio State football one year ahead of schedule are wrong. It is not about money - it's about wealth. There is a difference, and it is one the Ewers family already recognizes. "We don't need the mon ey," Ewers told Yahoo's Pete Thamel last week. "It's just the principle of it." Ewers is the first major prospect whose path to college was influenced by name, image and likeness income. According to Thamel's reporting - informed by conversations with th e family - Ewers could earn around a million dollars in the coming year.That isn't a few dollars here or there to play video games with fans, or for a quick Twitter post shouting out some snack delivery service. Ewers' reported figure would mean r eal endorsement opportunities. That kind of income may only be accessible if you are the No. 1 college football prospect in the country, with a previously perfect recruiting ranking, and you play in the most football-mad state in the nation. - Cleveland Plain Dealer

Quinn Ewers, considered the top quarterback prospect in the class of 2022, said he is skipping his senior year of high school in Texas and plans to enroll at Ohio State for the upcoming semester. In a Twitter post, Ewers explained he would soon be comple ting the course necessary to graduate from Southlake Carroll High School outside Dallas. The five-star recruit said his decision was influenced by Texas rules which prohibit high school athletes from earning money from endorsement and sponsorship deals. Last month, the NCAA lifted its long-time ban on athletes being compensated for their names, images and likenesses.Ewers said his preference would be to “complete my senior season at Southlake Carroll along with teammates and friends I've taken the field alongside the past three years." "However, following conversations with my family and those I know have my best interests in mind, I've decided it's time for me to enroll at Ohio State and begin my career as a Buckeye," he wrote. Ewers' parents told Yahoo! Sports that their son has several potential deals lined up, including one that could land him equity in a company that makes kombucha, but a Texas law aimed at giving college athletes NIL rights prevents high school athletes from doing so. - AP College Football
