Latest Quinn Ewers Update Possibly Answers Questions About His College Football Future

Heading into the 2024 college football season, Texas Longhorns fans were operating under the assumption that quarterback Quinn Ewers would be playing his final season.

The former five-star recruit will forever be credited for bringing Texas "back" to prominence following the conference title and College Football Playoff appearance in 2023. While the 2024 season started with Ewers establishing himself as the Heisman favorite and contender for the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft, the buzz quickly died down after an oblique injury sidelined him during the team's Week 3 game against UTSA.

He missed the next couple of weeks and then returned for the Red River Rivalry against Oklahoma, which saw him look rusty. A performance that he followed up with one of the worst of his Texas career in the team's loss to Georgia. Ewers was so unsettled in the first half against Georgia that he was benched in favor of Arch Manning for a couple of drives.

Steve Sarkisian made it clear he would ride with Ewers, but the third-year starter has had several ups and downs. With his draft stock taking a bit of a hit and him not performing as well as he once was, some speculated he could return for another season.

Something that neither he nor Sarkisian opted not to address leading up to Saturday's game against Kentucky, which is currently the final home game on the schedule, barring a playoff game for Texas. Ewers was also not featured in the team's graphic of players being honored for senior day.

However, CJ Vogel of On Texas Football reported on Saturday that Ewers is in fact expected to partake.
