AUSTIN, Texas — Less than two weeks ago, new Texas Longhorns offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich flexed his recruiting chops, parlaying the relationship that he built with 2022 Southlake Carroll quarterback Quinn Ewers while with the Ohio State Buckeyes last year to land a commitment from the 247Sports No. 1 prospect in his class.
It marked the first major joint recruiting win at the position between Yurcich and head coach Tom Herman since Yurcich arrived in Austin.
“You know Mike and I throughout the interview process... that was a big topic of discussion and we found out very early the things that we value are very much aligned,” Herman said of quarterback recruiting following the monumental commitment.
