Quinn Ewers looked like an improved quarterback in Texas’s Orange-White spring game on Saturday. Head coach Steve Sarkisian put any question marks surrounding the starting quarterback battle to rest.
“I thought Quinn was really efficient today, I think it’s pretty clear to say that Quinn’s our starting quarterback and we feel very good about that.”
Ewers completed 16 of 23 passes for 195 yards, one touchdown and no turnovers. He hit Xavier Worthy on a 46-yard deep strike to set up a touchdown early on. Ewers later connected with Georgia transfer AD Micthell for a score.
The second-year quarterback was unhappy with the inconsistency of his freshman campaign. Ewers is taking the extra steps to make strides as both a leader and player.
Maalik Murphy and Arch Manning will continue to push Ewers leading up to the season, but Sark feels confident this is Ewers’ team to lead.
