Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers celebrates after scoring a touchdown against Baylor during the first half of an NCAA college football game in Austin, Texas, Friday, Nov. 25, 2022. Redshirt freshman Quinn Ewers operated as the first-team quarterback during Monday’s practice. True freshman Arch Manning worked with the second team. Redshirt sophomore Maalik Murphy was limited with a lingering foot/ankle injury.
“Quinn had a really good winter,” Sarkisian said. “He was essentially a true freshman this time last year for us, so there was a lot on his mind. It’s like when the gears are moving but there’s no WD-40 in there, those gears are grinding. This winter it just feels more natural. He’s throwing the ball well. And I think he’s emerging as a leader.”A ballyhooed high school recruit out of Southlake Carroll, Ewers reclassified and enrolled at Ohio State in the summer of 2021.
Ewers won the starting job over third-year sophomore Hudson Card and went on to complete 58.1 percent of his passes for 2,177 yards with 15 touchdowns and six interceptions in 10 starts. The No. 1 overall recruit in 247Sports final Class of 2022 composite rankings, Manning certainly looked the part during open drills alongside Ewers. Aside from losing his student ID twice already, Sarkisian's pleased with what he's seen from the 6-foot-4, 212-pound freshman.
“There's some plays for sure that he would love to have back,” Sarkisian said. “And there's some other plays that he made where I think everybody was like, ‘Wow, that was a heck of a play.’ So again, true freshman, should still be in high school, but he definitely brings a worker’s mentality and he wants to be really good at this game.”
