It’s no secret that Texas football is home to one of the top quarterback rooms in the country, but how do they stack up among other teams?
CBS Sports’ Shehan Jeyarajah recently dove into the most talented quarterback rooms for the 2024 college football season. The Longhorns’ trio of Quinn Ewers, Arch Manning and Trey Owens landed at No. 3 on the list.
The Longhorns only have one player with real snaps on the roster. Still, the other is, you know, a Manning. Ewers and Manning rank as two of only four No. 1 overall quarterback recruits in the Top247 era and among the most hyped players ever at the position. If Ewers goes down, Manning is more than ready to step into the fray. Owens doesn’t boast the same elite pedigree as the other two starters, but Texas coach Steve Sarkisian identified him as a priority early in the process when he was relatively unknown. Those around the 40 Acres are optimistic about his potential. – Jeyarajah
The two rooms ranked ahead of Texas were No. 1 Ohio State and No. 2 Oregon. The Buckeyes have five quarterbacks that could contend for the starting role, while Oregon brought in Dillon Gabriel and Dante Moore this offseason to bolster the position.
The ranking concludes with Notre Dame (#4), Missouri (#5), and SMU (#6).
