Quinn Ewers is not naturally a vocal leader, but teammates say QB is pushing himself as No. 11 Texas strives to reach new heights.
"There weren't a lot of sun-shining, rosy days for him in his first year as a starting quarterback," Sarkisian said of Ewers at Big 12 media days in July."But he didn't waver. He stood tall, he answered every question, he stood right in there and he continued to work.
Over the summer, Ewers laid off the Chick-fil-A and lost weight. He gets up in front of his teammates before and after practices, giving his thoughts on how he thought that day went and what he's seeing on the field. As one of the veterans now, Ewers mentors younger players and harps on the importance of taking care of their bodies. He said he tries not to get too high or too low, either, which is probably why when asked on Monday if he was excited to get another shot at Alabama, he said in a monotone way that he's"pretty excited for every game I play."after his first game starting for the Longhorns. This time, rookie mistakes are a thing of the past.
"But to me, the biggest thing showed up Saturday with the maturity. The way he rebounded coming out of halftime after a couple of frustrating things."Those frustrating things included blown protections that led to Ewers taking unnecessary hits and sacks in the first half against Rice, as well as missed deep balls due to receivers needing to run better routes. Texas only led 16-3 at halftime, but Ewers came out in the third quarter and scored touchdowns on three straight drives.
