FORT WORTH, Texas – Texas Football sophomore quarterback Quinn Ewers has been named a semifinalist for the Davey O'Brien Award, the Davey O'Brien Foundation announced on Tuesday. The Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award is presented annually to the nation's best college quarterback.
Texas has had three players receive the Davey O'Brien Award, including a pair of quarterbacks. Heisman Trophy winner Earl Campbell was the first to do so in 1977 when the O'Brien Award recognized the top player in the southwest, while Vince Young (2005) and Colt McCoy (2009) make up the pair of Longhorn quarterbacks to win the award.
