Ewers helped bring the Texas program back to national prominence. He led Texas to back-to-back CFP semifinal appearances and a Big 12 title and even guided the team to an SEC Championship Game in the Longhorns' first season in the conference.

If Quinn Ewers turned down an $8 million NIL deal to turn pro because he only wanted to play at Texas, Steve Sarkisian better hope that Arch Manning is as good as what his five-star rating coming out of high school suggests he could be.

The Longhorns have gotten tougher on defense, now they need to do same on offensive line. Plus, give Quinn Ewers recognition he deserves.
