The Texas Longhorns have named Quinn Ewers, the heralded recruit who began his college career early at Ohio State to capitalize on name, image and likeness opportunities before transferring back to his home state, as its starting quarterback.
Ewers, a native of Southlake, Texas, had been competing for the job with Hudson Card, who opened the 2021 season as Texas' starter but mostly played behind Casey Thompson.
The Longhorns open the season against Louisiana-Monroe on Sept. 3 before hosting preseason No. 1 Alabama on Sept.
