Today is a day that Longhorn fans have been chomping at the bit for. There has been a Quinn Ewers sighting in a Texas uniform.
Well…kind of. Ewers can be seen sporting a black jersey that each quarterback wears, in an unmarked helmet during Texas’ first practice of spring football. Nonetheless, Texas football is back in gear, as the Longhorns begin preparing for the highly anticipated spring game.

Ewers, who decided to forgo his senior season of high school to attend Ohio State, will be competing with Hudson Card for the rights to the starting gig.
It was reported that Card started the practice off with the ones, but Steve Sarkisian mentioned that the two quarterbacks will be rotating and splitting reps evenly all spring.

Card is looking to out-duel Ewers and win his second straight quarterback competition, as he was able to beat out Nebraska quarterback Casey Thompson prior to the 2021 season. The only issue for Card was he wasn’t able to hold onto the starting job and was yanked after a poor performance in Week 2 against Arkansas.
Many are counting on Ewers to win the job outright even with his limited experience, as the has an immense amount of expectations surrounding him due to his perfect rating as a recruit.
This spring session will give both quarterbacks a prime opportunity to build a lead over one another.
