Ewers returning to Texas for 2024 season
Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers announced he's returning for the 2024 season.
Ewers was considered one of the top draft-eligible passers ahead of the Jan. 15 deadline for underclassmen to declare for the 2024 NFL Draft.
The 20-year-old helped lead the Longhorns to a 12-2 record and first Big 12 championship since 2009.

Ewers is set to lead Texas into a groundbreaking season as it becomes a full-time SEC member.
As a redshirt sophomore, Ewers passed for 3,479 yards, 22 touchdowns, and six interceptions, with a 69% completion rate in 2023. His numbers are even more impressive considering he missed a pair of games.
Ewers' decision to remain at Texas wasn't a complete surprise, as there was speculation he wanted to play another year under head coach Steve Sarkisian.
"One more year with my teammates and one more year of development with Coach Sark made the most sense," Ewers told ESPN's Pete Thamel.
The Southlake, Texas, native began his collegiate career at Ohio State after reclassifying in high school. He enrolled at Texas prior to the 2022 season.
