Texas' Quinn Ewers 'Pretty Clear' Starting QB over Arch Manning, Says HC Sarkisian

Quinn Ewers will be QB1 for the Texas Longhorns next season, despite the presence of Arch Manning.

Head coach Steve Sarkisian felt comfortable declaring this after the teams spring game, saying it's "pretty clear" that Ewers is deserving of the starting spot, per 247Sports' Chris Hummer.

Ewers is the incumbent starter after taking over for Hudson Card last season, throwing for 2,177 yards and 15 touchdowns as the Longhorns went 8-5. He was the No. 1 overall prospect in 2021, per 247Sports' composite list, and transferred to Texas ahead of last season following a redshirt freshman year at Ohio State.
