Quinn Ewers grew up in Texas, and this week, he got to fulfill his dream of leading the Texas Longhorns to a Big 12 championship. And it’s quite clear that it means a lot to him.
Even though Quinn Ewers initially signed with the Ohio State Buckeyes out of high school, he transferred to Texas after just one season at Ohio State, returning to his home state of Texas. And he’s pleased to have led them to a conference title.
“There’s no better feeling, honestly, especially for the guys who just dreamed of playing here and coming to their state. And accomplishing something to this magnitude has been just nothing but a blessing,” Ewers said according to On3. “I didn’t know that it was broadcast in all those places. So to hear that, it’s pretty cool.
“Especially, I tell these guys come out here and play like no one’s seen us play before and show them what Texas football is really about and what we believe in and all that stuff. But that’s a pretty cool stat you said there.”
But the job is not done. Ewers and Texas now have a chance to compete for a national title in the College Football Playoff. And that starts with a semifinal matchup against the Washington Huskies.
“It’s unreal. I mean I get goosebumps every time I even think about it,” Ewers said.
“Again, just truly honored to be a part of a team that works this hard. I know that we’re going to come to play. We played Washington in the Alamo Bowl last year. It’s kind of funny how that all works out (We) couldn’t be more excited for this amazing opportunity.”
