Quinn Ewers Announces Return to Texas Longhorns for 2024 Season
Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers has announced his decision to return for the 2024 football season. In a heartfelt video shared on social media, Ewers expressed gratitude for his teammates, coaches, and fans who have supported him through his journey at Texas.
“Ever since I was a kid, I’ve dreamed of playing quarterback at the University of Texas,” Ewers said. “God has shown me who I truly am these past two years that I’ve been here. And through the ups and downs, these fans and this university have always had my back. With that being said, I’m coming back.”
Ewers has been a pivotal figure for the Longhorns, leading them to a 12-2 record and their first-ever appearance in the College Football Playoff last season. His performance has solidified his place in Texas football history, ranking eighth in career passing yards and seventh in career touchdown passes. With a chance to surpass Major Applewhite’s records, Ewers is set to further etch his name in the Longhorns’ legacy.
His return comes at a crucial time as Texas prepares to transition to the Southeastern Conference (SEC) in 2024. Ewers’ presence will provide stability and leadership as the team navigates this significant change. His decision also temporarily places rising star Arch Manning in a backup role, ensuring depth in the quarterback position.
Ewers’ announcement follows a series of departures from the team, with several players declaring for the 2024 NFL Draft, including wide receiver Adonai Mitchell and running back Jonathon Brooks. Despite these changes, the Longhorns remain optimistic about their prospects for the upcoming season.
With Ewers at the helm, Texas is poised for another strong season, and fans eagerly anticipate what the future holds for their star quarterback and the team.
