Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers is eagerly anticipating a particular matchup.
The Texas Longhorns are gearing up for the 2024 college football season as strong contenders for the National Championship. Quinn Ewers leads a potent offense that is expected to dominate.
As the season approaches, Ewers is generating buzz as a potential Heisman Trophy candidate. Last season, he put up solid numbers with Texas, completing 69 percent of his passes for 3,479 yards, 22 touchdowns, and six interceptions. He also added five rushing touchdowns.
Heading into 2024, Ewers aims for even greater achievements, including leading his team to a championship and improving his NFL Draft prospects for 2025.
Recently, Ewers expressed excitement about a particular matchup—the revival of the historic rivalry with the Arkansas Razorbacks, now that Texas has joined the SEC.
“It’s going to be exciting to reignite that storied rivalry. I’m looking forward to playing at Arkansas. It dates back to the 1800s, which is incredible. It’s great for both schools to revive that. Back in the ’50s and ’60s, they had some epic battles, so it’ll be special to compete against them.”
Looking ahead, Texas is set to face Arkansas on November 16th in what promises to be an intense game.
Ewers faces high expectations this season with significant pressure, especially with Arch Manning patiently waiting for his chance as backup. Despite the hype, Ewers is focused and prepared for the challenges ahead. He has delivered impressive performances in his two years with the Longhorns and is determined to elevate his game in 2024.
In addition to his on-field success, Ewers has made waves in the NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) marketplace. He currently ranks as the No. 6 overall NIL athlete and No. 5 in college football, with an estimated valuation of $1.7 million.
If Ewers lives up to expectations this season, he could be making an impact at the professional level soon. His performance and leadership will be closely watched as he aims to guide Texas to success this year.
