Quinn Ewers has a chance to do something no Texas Longhorns quarterback has ever done.
AUSTIN - There might not be a more high profile job for a college football player than being the starting quarterback for the Texas Longhorns .
It hasn't always been that way, but when Texas is a national title contender - as they are entering the 2024 season - it is an inevitable result.Should Ewers be able to bring home the sports' most prestigious award, he would become the first Longhorns QB to ever do so, surpassing greats such as Vince Young, Sam Ehlinger Colt McCoy, Major Applewhite, James Street, and Bobby Layne.
When healthy, Ewers was elite in 2023, completing 272 of 394 passes for 3,479 yards and 22 touchdowns with just six interceptions in 12 games. He also had a QB rating of 158.6. Compare that to his 2022 stats, where he completed 172 of 296 passes for 2,177 yards and 15 touchdowns with six picks in 10 games, and you can see the amazing leap forward he was able to make in one off-season.
And if he can improve at the same rate he did from Year 1 to Year 2, in between Year 2 and Year 3, he could find himself in a position to become the Longhorns' third Heisman Trophy winner ever, joining Ricky Williams and Earl Campbell.
