The Quinn Ewers era has begun at Texas.
Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian announced Friday after the team’s practice that Ewers would be the team’s starting quarterback ahead of the 2022 season. The former Ohio State transfer, who initially committed to Texas in ’20, will take practice reps with the first-team offense while redshirt sophomore Hudson Card will practice with the second team.
Sarkisian’s decision on his starting quarterback came as a shock as many felt he would name a starter next week after the Longhorns second closed scrimmage on Saturday, according to the Austin American-Statesman.
