Looking at Texas’ 2024 QB room and how Quinn Ewers is still the clear starter

Texas has one of the best quarterback rooms in the country.

Texas is returning a quarterback in Quinn Ewers who led the Longhorns to their first-ever College Football Playoff appearance and their first conference championship since 2009. Ewers is already a favorite to win the 2024 Heisman Trophy and will likely be one of the top quarterbacks taken in the 2025 NFL draft.

Ewers announced his return to Texas a few weeks ago due to unfinished business. Although the Longhorns finished with their best record in over a decade, winning a national championship is the ultimate goal.

Texas now enters the SEC with a strong chance to make back-to-back College Football Playoff appearances, and now they have arguably the best quarterback room in the nation.

Here is a look at who will be in the quarterback room for the Longhorns in 2024.

Cy-Fair 2024 QB Trey Owens commits to Texas

Cy-Fair (Texas) QB Trey Owens, 2024 three-star recruit commits to Texas.

Texas has put together one of the top 2023 recruiting classes in the nation, highlighted by No. 1 overall recruit, quarterback Arch Manning. Even though Manning projects to be the Longhorns’ starter for the next few years, you can never have too many options at quarterback and the hustle for the next one never stops.

On that subject, they may already have their QB for the class of 2024. Cy-Fair (Texas) QB Trey Owens announced that he’s committed to Texas.

Owens (6-foot-4, 200 pounds) is a three-star recruit who is ranked No. 34 among quarterbacks in his class and No. 69 in the state.

He told 247 Sports that he loves coach Steve Sarkisian and his staff:

“I feel like they’ve been super honest with me throughout the process. They took their time recruiting with me. I thought that was cool they were honest with me about things I needed to fix and it really pushed me because that wasn’t the offer I wanted.”

If nothing else, Owens comes equipped with a big arm.

In 11 games as a Junior, he totaled 2,840 passing yards, 34 touchdowns and just six interceptions.

Owens is the third commit for their class of 2024. The others are four-star athlete Hunter Moddon and four-star cornerback Jaden Allen.

Texas trending for 2024 QB Trey Owens

Steve Sarkisian may be honing in on his next quarterback recruit.

Steve Sarkisian may be honing in on his next quarterback recruit. Texas is trending for 2024 three-star signal-caller Trey Owens.

The Cy-Fair High School player received multiple crystal ball projections in favor of the Longhorns on Tuesday. Owens is a rising prospect with offers from Baylor, Texas, Texas Tech and Houston.

Owens stands 6 feet, 5 inches with arm strength that projects well to the collegiate level. He is a lower-rated recruit compared to Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning, but coach Sarkisian has a proven eye for quarterback talent.

Owens enjoyed a breakout junior season where he threw 34 touchdowns to just six interceptions. He took home offensive MVP for the district and led Cy-Fair to the playoffs.

Texas offered Owens in early November, and he appears to be doing a great job in his recruitment thus far.
