Quarterback Quinn Ewers plans to return to Texas rather than entering the 2024 NFL Draft.
“Ever since I was a kid, I’ve dreamed of playing quarterback at the University of Texas. … I’m coming back,” Ewers said in a social media post Thursday. “Hook ’em.”
The 20-year-old gives Texas a unique stable of golden-armed options at quarterback. He’s 16-6 as a starter and the Longhorns have Arch Manning as a backup. Manning was the No. 1-ranked QB in the Class of 2023.
Texas ended the season in the College Football Playoff for the first time, losing in the semifinals to Washington, 37-31.
Ewers was second in the Big 12 with 3,479 yards and threw 22 touchdown passes last season, despite missing time with a shoulder injury for the second consecutive season. Texas is moving to the SEC next season.
