Texas has its quarterback of the future secured by scoring a commitment from the top recruit of 2023, Arch Manning. Manning still has another year of High School Football left to play, though, leaving the Longhorns with an opening at the game’s most important position.
On Friday, head coach Steve Sarkisian named redshirt freshman Quinn Ewers his team’s starter for this coming season, per 247Sports.
Ewers (6-foot-3, 206 pounds) was a highly-touted recruit coming out of Southlake Carroll (Texas) and was the No. 1 quarterback in the 2021 recruiting cycle. After de-committing to Texas, he committed to Ohio State but didn’t see any playing time last year behind C.J. Stroud and transferred to Texas in January.
