WATCH: Texas QB Quinn Ewers drops a dime to freshman WR Brenen Thompson

Quinn Ewers and Brenen Thompson could not have been more in sync on this throw.

Unquenchable hype surrounds Quinn Ewers. Watching him effortlessly complete difficult throws adds fuel to the fire.

In Tuesday’s practice, we saw a glimpse of one of the most gifted passers Texas has brought to the Forty Acres. Ewers play-action faked to the left, rolled right and found true freshman Brenen Thompson just before the speedster reached the corner end zone boundary.

Hudson Card has made the competition a difficult decision for Steve Sarkisian making good throws of his own. The battle may continue all the way to Saturday’s scrimmage.

Ewers has a steep learning curve, having skipped his senior season of high school to enroll at Ohio State. Given his ability to make difficult throws with ease and precision, it’s easy to see why head coach Steve Sarkisian and quarterback coach AJ Milwee would want to bring him up to speed.

Though some believe Card has the upper hand, throws like that make it hard to consider Ewers out of the running for the starting role.
