The Texas Longhorns found their quarterback of the future Friday when 2022 recruit Quinn Ewers announced his commitment to the program. Ewers, a Southlake, Texas native, took to his personal Twitter account to announce his decision to play for the Longhorns on Twitter:
According to the composite rankings on 247sports, Ewers is a 5-star pro-style quarterback prospect and the top-ranked overall player in the 2022 recruiting class. In a Nov. 2019 scouting report for 247Sports, Gabe Brooks offered this assessment of Ewers’ game:
“Prototype frame for elite QB prospect. Good height with lean, athletic build that will hold more bulk. Dynamic natural playmaker at QB position. Shows impressive stand-and-deliver in-pocket ability, in addition to terrific off-schedule instincts. Varies arm angles as needed. Enormous production as a sophomore for perennial Texas 6A power.”

Ewers’ Future
Quinn Ewers threw for 45 touchdowns with just three interceptions as a sophomore last year. He also added a 72.4 completion percentage; an impressive mark anywhere, especially high school ball in Texas. As a SOPHOMORE, he threw for 4,000 yards through the air and added almost 600 yards on the ground with 9 scores. Even though he has two more years of high school football you can already tell he’s something special. Texas is going to have a field day with him quarterbacking the team when he arrives in Austin.
Assuming Ewers’ recruiting ranking doesn’t change in the next two years, he’s the highest-rated player to join the Longhorns since Tom Herman took over as head coach in November 2016. Herman has done a terrific job of recruiting for Texas. The program has landed among the top 10 teams in the rankings every year since 2018. Here are some 2019 highlights for everyone’s pleasure; warning, they are pretty filthy:
