Quinn Ewers

Ewers is a potential Heisman Trophy candidate, having set career-highs across the board as a sophomore for the Longhorns. Ewers completed 69.0 percent of his passes for 3,479 yards, 22 touchdowns and just six interceptions. This included a virtuoso performance in the Big 12 Championship Game, throwing for 452 yards and four touchdowns in the 49-21 thrashing of Oklahoma State. He also more than held his own in the CFP Semifinal versus Washington, passing for over 300 yards in a losing cause. Ewers should continue to ascend in 2024, with two rather large caveats. Firstly, Texas moves to the SEC, meaning a tougher schedule and tougher opposing defenses. Secondly, there is also the looming presence of Arch Manning, whose name and pedigree will cast a shadow over the Texas program this season, especially if Ewers struggles or has a bad game. Ewers is the surefire starter heading into the 2024 campaign, but a lot can change in a short amount of time. Read Past Outlooks
