ESPN ranks Texas’ Quinn Ewers among college quarterbacks

Ewers is given a fair ranking from ESPN among the top quarterbacks in college football.

The key to success for the Texas football program is no secret. The Longhorns’ 2024 season, like the one before it, hinges on how well starting quarterback Quinn Ewers plays.

Last season’s playoff run proved Ewers capable of high caliber football over the course of a season, but the Longhorns’ title chances come down to whether or not he can improve to the same degree.

ESPN views the third year starter as one of its top quarterbacks in college football. It ranks Ewers No. 3 in the country. Here’s a look at the site’s Top 10.

  1. Carson Beck, Georgia
  2. Dillon Gabriel, Oregon
  3. Quinn Ewers, Texas
  4. Jalen Milroe, Alabama
  5. Noah Fifita, Arizona
  6. Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss
  7. Jalon Daniels, Kansas
  8. Shedeur Sanders, Colorado
  9. Cameron Rising, Utah
  10. Cameron Ward, Miami

The above list includes 10 proven quarterbacks. That Ewers is ranked so highly among them speaks to the respect he garnered in his 2023 campaign.

Ewers will look to grow from an impressive season the last time he took the field in which he completed 69% of his passes and put up just under nine yards per attempt.

PFF says Oregon has one of the top quarterback rooms in the nation

With Bo Nix, Ty Thompson and Austin Novosad, the Ducks have a QB room that is viewed as one of the best in the nation in 2023.

This college football season might be the Year of the Quarterback. NFL scouts are salivating over the next generation of signal-callers with the like of Caleb Williams, Bo Nix, and Drake Maybe coming down the pike.

Beyond the obvious stars across the country, there are some intriguing freshmen and redshirts looking to take a dive into the deep end of the pool. Many teams feel they’ll be all right should their starting quarterback go down for whatever reason.

The term “quarterback room” is of the utmost importance in the world of college football. It’s not just the starter; the backup quarterback is becoming more important with the game turning even faster and more physical than it has been before. The guy with the clipboard is seeing more time on the field in recent years.

Our friends over at Pro Football Focus has put together the Top 10 quarterback rooms in the country and Oregon is on the list, as expected. But it’s who is in front and behind the Ducks that is more interesting.

Here are the top 10 and our feelings on the subject.
