Report: Texas QB Quinn Ewers likely to return in 2024

Quinn Ewers is expected to return for his junior campaign next season in the SEC.

In a report released by Geoff Ketchum on Monday, there is momentum that Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers will return to Texas in 2024 as the Longhorns play their first season in the SEC.

Additional confirmation was provided on Tuesday by Inside Texas. Ewers is expected to return for his junior campaign. This is positive news for the Longhorns as they will enter the SEC with an experienced quarterback and offensive line.

The 2024 quarterback draft class is already stacked with talented prospects such as Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Michael Penix, and Bo Nix. As a result, it is likely that Ewers will be selected later in the draft.

Missing two games this season due to injury also likely plays into his decision, simply because that now marks the second consecutive season that Ewers has missed multiple games due to injury. If Ewers can improve on his consistency and remain healthy in 2024, he would likely be the No. 1 quarterback prospect for the 2025 NFL draft.

If Ewers does indeed return for another season, Texas will be true title contenders as they start their journey in the gauntlet of SEC programs.

WATCH: Texas QB Quinn Ewers jogging and throwing during warmups

Quinn Ewers might return before originally expected.

Quinn Ewers’ return might come faster than originally reported. The transfer quarterback was seen warming up on the field prior to the UTSA game on Saturday and did not look significantly encumbered by his injured shoulder.

The Longhorns’ gunslinger exhibited little to no discomfort as his arms swung during his pregame jog. Hope of an early return could inject life into the team after his strong performance against Alabama.

In addition, Ewers was seen effortlessly throwing the football in warmups. It appeared the Longhorns’ star was making an effort to minimize movement of his left shoulder to avoid pain. Albeit, it did not seem to affect his accuracy.

Now, attention shifts to how soon Ewers can return. Many speculated Ewers would return for the Oklahoma game at the earliest. Now it looks like he could return for West Virginia or perhaps even for Texas Tech.

Ultimately, only the doctors, coaching staff, Quinn Ewers and Ewers’ family know the severity of the injury. Even so, it looks like the Texas signal-caller is healing on schedule.
