The University of Texas received significant news as starting quarterback Quinn Ewers officially announced his decision to return for the 2024 college football season. Ewers opted not to declare for the NFL draft, which could positively impact his draft stock next year if he continues his upward trajectory.
Ewers, expected to be a Heisman Trophy favorite for the 2024 season, brings a wealth of experience and talent to the Texas Longhorns. He returns after an impressive 2023 campaign where he threw for 3,479 yards and 22 touchdowns, boasting a quarterback rating of 78.3. Under his leadership, the Longhorns achieved a stellar 12-2 record, secured the Big 12 Championship, and earned a spot in the College Football Playoff.
With four out of five starters returning along the offensive line, Texas can anticipate a strong foundation for their offense as they enter SEC play. The experience and continuity provided by Ewers and the offensive line are considered significant positives for the team. Arch Manning is expected to serve as the backup to Ewers for the 2024 season, adding depth to the quarterback position for the Longhorns.
