Quinn Ewers skips media at Texas Pro Day, frustrated reporter outburst draws criticism

Historically, Texas Athletics has held a reputation as one of the most elite programs in the country when it comes to media access and interview protocols. Student-athletes, including high-profile names like quarterback Quinn Ewers, are closely managed by the Sports Information Department — commonly referred to as SIDs — within Texas Athletics.

During Tuesday’s Texas Pro Day in Austin, Ewers skipped an informal media opportunity at the end of the session to meet with representatives from the Miami Dolphins, according to Bobby Burton of On Texas Football. Though the availability was not officially scheduled, the decision still sparked frustration with one member of the media that regularly covers the Longhorns.
