Steve Sarkisian Reveals Why He Named Quinn Ewers Starting QB

After announcing last week that Quinn Ewers would be Texas’ starting quarterback ahead of the 2022 season, Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian detailed why he chose the once-touted high school prospect over sophomore Hudson Card.

Speaking to reporters Monday, Sarkisian lauded Ewers’s playmaking and passing abilities, explaining that he feels confident in the team’s offense being able to improve as the redshirt freshman himself grows into the starting role.

“Quinn can make all the throws,” Sarkisian said, per Longhorns Country. “I feel very comfortable about that. I feel very comfortable about his playmaking ability. I feel like his growth in the system is one where we can really see where it is going to head under him, and I’m excited about it.“
