The starting quarterback left reporters stunned when he reluctantly answered one of the biggest questions surrounding Texas' last home game of the 2024 season on Saturday.
As the final regular-season home game of the 2024 season sits on the horizon, many players will look to take in perhaps their final moments inside Darrell K. Royal Stadium. The biggest question that has recently surfaced surrounding thelast performance on the Forty Acres, with the assumption being that his plan following the season will be to declare for the 2025 NFL Draft."Who knows?" Ewers said. "I'm just trying to win this week.
In the wake of his second injury during his career as a Longhorn, Ewers' absence against ULM and Mississippi State during Weeks 4 and 5 caused him to lose crucial time to build not only his Heisman Trophy campaign but NFL Draft resume. It's safe to say that the once-projected frontrunner for the trophy has dropped out of the race completely, and his Draft stock will need a major revival, as he was not considered in updated mock first-round draft projections by CBS Sports or ESPN.
He currently sits at a 68.4% pass completion percentage compared to 87.5% before he left the UTSA game. Against Oklahoma, he threw for not even 200 passing yards and just one touchdown, following the next week against then-No. 5 Georgia with 211 passing yards, an interception, and a 58.1% pass completion percentage.
When asked about his individual performance so far this season, Ewers redirected his response toward the team's current record.Whatever Ewers decides, Texas will still be stacked at the quarterback position with redshirt freshman Arch Manning already making strides toward being a reliable starter.
