Texas fans are finally getting a taste of Quinn Ewers in a Longhorns uniform, and even though it just spring practice, it is obvious that the arm talent is there.
Ewers took a very unorthodox path to Texas, as he was once committed under head coach Tom Herman but later decommitted for a variety of reasons. Shortly after, he announced his commitment to Ohio State. He chose to forgo his senior year of high school, which gave new head coach Steve Sarkisian little time to sway him back to Austin.
Sarkisian’s efforts were understandably too little too late, but thankfully Ewers ended up a Longhorn in the long run. The former five-star quarterback seems to be as good as advertised up to this point, as evidenced by the glimpse of practice below.

While many fans and experts believe it is Ewers’ job through and through, Sarkisian has emphasized multiple times that he will have to beat out Hudson Card for the starting role.
Card does have the advantage of being in the system for the second straight season, but will need to show major improvements otherwise this could be his last time competing for the starting job at Texas. Ewers is unlikely to relinquish it should he win.
