Save for a few seasons under Sam Ehlinger’s reign, the past decade-plus worth of offseasons in Austin were almost certain to feature a quarterback competition. New year, same situation — only this time around, the competition for QB1 features junior Hudson Card and redshirt freshman Quinn Ewers. Of course, Card and Ewers headline a quarterback room that also includes touted true freshman Malik Murphy and redshirt freshman Charles Wright, and collectively, head coach Steve Sarkisian believes he has “the quarterbacks” to get the offense going the way he wants, he told ESPN.
But to be sure, Texas’ competition for QB1 — at least as far as the 2022 season is concerned — begins and ends with Card and Ewers.
