Report: Quinn Ewers will be honored today during Senior Day festivities

Quinn Ewers will reportedly be honored as part of Texas Longhorns Senior Day celebration, meaning this is his final home game for UT at DKR.

There have been a lot of rumors about Texas Longhorns QB Quinn Ewers this week. One report from 247 says Ewers will enter the NFL Draft. Another says the junior from Southlake will actually transfer. Either way, it appears this is Ewers last year at Texas.

Now, a new report from CJ Vogel of On Texas Football suggests the Longhorns will officially recognize today’s Kentucky game as Ewers last at DKR. Vogel says Ewers will be honored with the seniors for Senior Day.

Ewers season has been a journey. He started strong in the first two games, roasted Michigan in Ann Arbor and was the leading Heisman Candidate.

Then came the oblique strain against UTSA that sidelined Ewers for weeks. After returning from the injury, Ewers play has been inconsistent and for the most part, he doesn’t look as confident as he did in the early season.

These reports suggest Ewers is going to find out what scouts are saying his NFL Draft grade is, then he will decide to either enter the draft or transfer.

Why transfer instead of staying put at Texas? There have probably been agreements made behind the scenes. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian could have promised Ewers one more year as the starter if he came back for 2024. That would make sense given Sark’s reluctance to replace Ewers with Arch Manning.

Ewers might not be 100% confident he would beat Manning in a straight up QB battle next spring. Returning to Texas and losing his starting spot would be a career disaster. Ewers might have promised Manning the starting job next year. They are good friends.

Whatever the reason, Ewers is the starter over the next weeks and whatever happens in the postseason. Next year, the job will be Manning’s and Ewers will either be in the NFL or with another power program.
