This upcoming season’s Texas quarterbacks went viral last week for an image posted of them all flexing in the gym after a workout. Most fans focused on the highly anticipated new addition to the team, Arch Manning, and his appearance became a meme all over social media.
Quinn Ewers, the Longhorns’ expected 2023 starting quarterback, was featured in the photo as well, and he was recently asked about what led the quarterbacks to work on their physiques. Apparently, the QBs began a competition to see who could build the most muscle in the offseason.
“We kind of got addicted to doing abs, hitting biceps and triceps and all that stuff,” Ewers told ESPN’s Pete Thamel. “It was just fun. And, then the more we did it, we saw more position groups stay in the locker room after, which it’s cool to see that.”
