In a wild weekend, the Texas Longhorns secured their second perfect-rating recruit. The No. 1 player of the 2022 class, Quinn Ewers, committed to play for his childhood team. Ewers is a program-changing player, so what kind of impact does this make on the recruiting front? Seems as though top players from across the country are lining up to have the opportunity to play with him.
The quarterback room is suddenly loaded with Hudson Card, Ja’Quinden Jackson, Casey Thompson, Jalen Milroe (2021) and Ewers (2022). In the post-Ehlinger era, how does it all play out? Will someone change positions? Will someone eventually leave?
In the funny story of the weekend, current Texas A&M tight end Blake Smith tweeted he would sign up to play with Ewers. Was he telling others to come to Texas? Or was it a brief brain lapse that caused him to tweet that and immediately remove it?
The wide receiver group was dealt a blow with the injury to freshman Troy Omeire. Over the weekend, we were told by head coach Tom Herman that he “tweaked” his knee, but it was later confirmed he tore his ACL. With him out for the season, how does that impact the group?
Athletic director Chris Del Conte confirmed in an email there will be fans in the stands. A total of 25 percent which equates to 25,000. It was later reported by Brian Davis of the Austin American-Statesman that Texas is planning zero allotments to opposing fans for home games. The annual Texas-OU Red River Rivalry will be split with each school getting 12.5 percent of tickets.
Plus Oklahoma’s top running back Kennedy Brooks has opted out of the 2020 season. What impact will that have on an already young team that lost its starting quarterback and top wide receiver to the NFL draft this past year.
