Texas and Tom Herman landed their biggest recruit ever in Quinn Ewers on Friday afternoon. The No. 1 prospect in the country in the 2022 class, the Longhorns found their quarterback on the future in the Southlake Carroll prospect.
Of course, social media had crazy reactions to Texas’ new commit. The most eye-opening one, however, was a current Texas A&M player saying he would choose Texas if he was a recruit again.
Blake Smith was a part of the Aggies’ 2020 recruiting class, coming in as a three-star tight end. He also attended Southlake Carrol, the high school of Quinn Ewers.
Smith quote tweeted Ewers’ commitment post, saying “Congrats bro, business decision and if I was a WR/TE…I’d commit there with him. Just saying.”
The tweet was soon deleted from Smith’s account.

Very rarely do you ever see anyone telling recruits to commit to another school, let alone a Texas A&M player telling them to go to Texas.
The Longhorns and Aggies have maintained their rivalry off the field, battling it out in recruiting. Now, Tom Herman has an excellent weapon, telling in-state blue chips that even Texas A&M players think they should commit to Texas.
Blake Smith has some history with the top ranked recruit so this should comes little to no surprise that he would say it. Smith shared a video of just how electric his arm talent is.
What kind of arm does Texas commit Quinn Ewers have? As @blakesmith_11 shows us here, just a “slight 85(-yard)” bomb.

With the addition of Ewers to the quarterback room, it appears the Red River Rivalry just became an arms race. Should be fun to watch once he gets on campus.
