Quinn Ewers, Quarterback
The former five-star and perfectly rated Ohio State transfer, Quinn Ewers, may be the difference between this Texas team being a decent team or a really great team. We all saw his arm strength in the spring game when he connected with Neyor for a deep touchdown, only adding to the mythical-esque hype surrounding him.
He has yet to be declared the winner of the job, but many think it is only a matter of time. With the poor offensive line infrastructure currently in place, Ewers will need to show he not only can run the team, but make off script plays to keep drives alive. At the college level he has just a few career handoffs under his belt, but now is his time to shine. He wrote a piece in the Player’s Tribune talking about the importance of being a Longhorn, but when the season comes around there is no more time for the idea of playing for Texas, it will be time for the young gun slinger to help resurrect this struggling program. If he wins the job, the whole country will be watching the program and he needs to be ready for the moment.
