Former Southlake Carroll quarterback Quinn Ewers announced earlier today that he will forgo the 2024 NFL Draft and return for a third season at the University of Texas at Austin.
The starting quarterback quickly made a name for himself at the collegiate level, starting out his freshman year by leading the Longhorns to six wins while throwing for 2,177 yards and 15 touchdowns. Since his two-year stint at UT, the sophomore has been listed as a top-tier Heisman contender for 2022 and checked in at No. 30 in CBS Sports’ NFL Draft prospect rankings. He also led the Longhorns to their first Big 12 championship since 2009.
“Ever since I was a kid, I dreamed of playing quarterback at the University of Texas,” Quinn says in a video posted to X, formerly known as Twitter. “I couldn’t be more thankful to all of my teammates and coaches, and I’m beyond grateful to be in the position I’m in. God has showed 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 has always had my back. With that being said, I’m coming back.”
