Quinn Ewers compares Texas’ mindset in 2023 to John Wick

“He’s being hunted, but at the same time he’s hunting those guys as well.”

The more Texas fans learn about Quinn Ewers and his mindset the more they love him.

Heading into his second season in Austin, Ewers feels poised to take one of the most dramatic leaps in improvements that Texas has seen at quarterback in quite some time. After undergoing both physical and mental transformations and attacking the position differently, Ewers seems poised for a breakout year.

The quarterback spoke to reporters at Big 12 media days on Wednesday. and On top of discussing why he struggled last season, Ewers shed light on Texas’ mindset in 2023. He compared the Longhorns to fictional movie hero John Wick, explaining that while everyone is coming after them they will also be going after everyone with reckless abandon.

The intensity and attitude from Ewers feels like one that the Longhorns have been missing throughout their past decade of struggles. He and Texas are favored to win the Big 12, with some saying not winning the conference title would be a disappointment. Only time will tell, but Ewers seems ready to prove himself and also help this team reach success that they haven’t experienced in a while.
