On Friday, Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian informed the media — through Sports Information Director John Bianco — that redshirt freshman quarterback Quinn Ewers is now the starter for the Longhorns after emerging from the position battle with redshirt sophomore Hudson Card.
On Saturday, Texas will hold its second scrimmage of preseason camp, with the main emphasis on emerging more healthy than the team did last week when junior wide receiver Isaiah Neyor and redshirt senior offensive lineman Junior Angilau both suffered season-ending ACL injuries.
A host of other players also suffered minor injuries, and Sarkisian plans to hold them out, including senior running back Roschon Johnson, redshirt sophomore wide receiver Troy Omeire, freshman offensive lineman Cole Hutson, and junior nickel back Jahdae Barron.
