BBC NEWS :What Quinn Ewers’ return in 2024 means for the Longhorns…
Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers has announced that he will return for the 2024 season.
While the college football world is buzzing about Nick Saban’s retirement and his replacement, the Texas Longhorns received some great news Thursday.
Starting quarterback Quinn Ewers announced on Instagram that he will return for a third season in 2024.
This news not only creates excitement about next season’s cap, but also, in some ways, suggests that head coach Steve Sarkisian isn’t going anywhere.
The former University of Alabama offensive coordinator is seen by some as a possible replacement for Saban, which is a strong possibility considering Texas has one of the best jobs in college football.
There is.
But Ewers’ return to Austin, with Sarkisian himself reposting the Ewers video on his Instagram account, should give Texas fans some much-needed reassurance.
Ewers’ return to the field means the Longhorns have experience at the most important position in football.
If the team is having a 12-2 season with him and has made progress in each of the past few seasons, there is confidence that the team will continue this upward trend with the trend.
However, the Longhorns are losing their top five playmakers on offense, and losing their quarterback could spell doom for the team.
With Ewers back and rebuilding their wide receiver room through elite recruiting and the transfer portal, the Longhorns may not have to worry too much about the learning curve.
Texas has a chance to pair Oregon State’s speedy receiver Silas Bolden with dynamic Houston transfer Matthew Golden.
That means we need young players to step up.
As for Ewers, according to PFF, he threw more touchdowns, gained more yards, completed more passes, and had fewer turnover-worthy plays, so he was better in nearly every major category.
We saw a jump.
In his third year with this offense, Texas fans can expect Ewers to take another step forward and develop into one of the best quarterbacks in the country.
He knows the offense well and should have more confidence after his performance this year.
2024 could be a breakout year for Ewers that could mask the team’s inexperience and other detrimental flaws.
There’s a lot he can do as an elite quarterback at the college level, and the 2024 season could be the year he becomes an elite quarterback.
