Quinn Ewers, the quarterback for Texas football, might help the team challenge for a Southeastern Conference crown the following season, according to ESPN, with Texas football scheduled to play in the Big 12 Championship Game on Saturday.
ESPN’s Pete Thamel said on Saturday, citing sources, that the chance of Ewers coming back to Texas in 2024 has “increased exponentially in the past few weeks.” Ewers still has two years left of college eligibility, but he can choose to join the NFL Draft this offseason.
Thamel claims that by next week, a decision about Ewers’ future might be made.
When Kirk Bohls, a columnist for the American-Statesman, questioned QB Aaron Ewers last week about his future plans, the quarterback stated he wasn’t sure yet. On Monday, Ewers informed reporters that he was just focused on Saturday’s game.
“Right now I’m just trying to win a Big 12 championship,” Ewers said. “You can’t look too far ahead or you’ll miss what’s right in front of you.”
This season, Ewers has thrown for 2,709 yards and 17 touchdowns against just five interceptions. He missed two games with a shoulder injury.
At Arlington’s AT&T Stadium on Saturday, Ewers and No. 7 Texas (11-1) will attempt to beat No. 18 Oklahoma State (9-3) for the conference championship. A win will keep the Longhorns in the running for a spot in the College Football Playoffs, with the field announced Sunday.
