Austin, TX – Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers has issued a bold declaration that has already started making waves across college football. After leading his team through a dominant stretch of games since taking over as the starting quarterback, Ewers confidently proclaimed, “No one has defeated me since I took over as QB.” This statement highlights not just his individual success but also the growing confidence within the Longhorns’ program as they look to continue their march towards national relevance.
Ewers, who began the 2023 season as a highly-touted prospect after transferring from Ohio State, had big shoes to fill following the departure of previous starter Hudson Card. There were questions surrounding how quickly the former five-star recruit would adjust to being the leader of one of the nation’s most storied programs. However, what has followed has been nothing short of spectacular.
Since being named the starter early in the 2023 season, Ewers has led the Longhorns to an unbeaten record, navigating through some of the toughest teams in the Big 12 and beyond. With a combination of athleticism, accuracy, and poise under pressure, Ewers has delivered one standout performance after another. His ability to read defenses, make quick decisions, and strike with precision has made him one of the most feared quarterbacks in the
In his most recent outing against the formidable Oklahoma Sooners, Ewers threw for over 350 yards and four touchdowns, leading Texas to a commanding 42-17 victory. His performance in the Red River Rivalry not only solidified his status as the team’s leader but also sent a clear message to the rest of the college football world: the Longhorns are for real. Ewers’ success in big games has become a hallmark of his career, with several late-game comebacks and clutch throws propelling his team to victory.
What has been equally impressive as Ewers’ individual statistics is the overall success of the Texas program under his leadership. Head coach Steve Sarkisian has praised the young quarterback for his maturity, work ethic, and ability to rally the team around him. “Quinn has been everything we hoped for and more,” Sarkisian said in a recent press conference. “He’s grown into the role of not just a quarterback, but a leader. The way he carries himself, both on and off the field, has been a huge asset to this team.”
Ewers’ statement is backed by more than just words. His stats are undeniable—he currently leads the Big 12 in passing yards and touchdowns and is being closely watched by NFL scouts who have taken notice of his rare arm strength and mobility. However, it’s his leadership and the team’s collective success that has made this unbeaten streak so impressive. Texas is positioned near the top of the national rankings, with many experts predicting they will contend for a spot in the College Football Playoff by the end of the season.
As the Longhorns continue their quest for a Big 12 championship and possibly a national title, Ewers’ statement serves as a declaration of intent. Texas has a quarterback who is not only capable of leading the team to victories but is also ready to back up his words with consistent, high-level performances. Ewers’ confidence is contagious, and it’s clear that the Texas Longhorns are on the verge of something special.
For now, the unbeaten streak continues, and with Ewers under center, no one is betting against the Longhorns.
