Texas Head Coach Steve Sarkisian provided a much anticipated update on the Longhorns QB1 Quinn Ewers early Monday during his regular press conference. Quinn Ewers was seen holding his ankle on Saturday after a hip-drop tackle against Kentucky.
“I think he’s doing okay,” Sarkisian said Monday. “Our schedule is a little bit different. We’re normally a morning practice team, but with this being Thanksgiving week and no school, we’re not practicing until this afternoon. I’ll have a better understanding when I get to see him really on the field, but he’s planning on practicing today. We’ll see how that goes.”
The University of Texas quarterback has etched his name deeper into the Longhorns’ storied history, surpassing Chris Simms (1999-2002) to claim the sixth spot on the program’s all-time career passing yards list. With 7,378 career passing yards, he moves past Simms’ 7,097-yard mark, cementing his place among Texas’ greatest passers.
Adding to his legacy, the signal-caller’s 56 career touchdown passes now rank fifth in UT history, showcasing his ability to deliver in the red zone. His consistency has been remarkable, recording a passing touchdown in 20 consecutive games. This streak is the second-longest in program history, trailing only Colt McCoy’s record-setting 29-game streak. The 20-game streak also ties him with Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders for the longest active streak among FBS quarterbacks. In his 29 starts, he has led the Longhorns to an impressive 22 victories. Quinn is projected to go within the first or second round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Texas is slated to take on Texas A&M at Kyle Field on Saturday at 6:30 PM CT, marking the first time the two meet since 2011.
