Ranking the projected starting quarterbacks in the Big 12 for 2023
By Andrew Tineo
2. Quinn Ewers, Texas
The biggest flaw in Quinn Ewers’ game is his consistency. It was evident throughout his freshman campaign that his completion percentage and turnovers proved to be big problems.
His three-interception game against Oklahoma State or his safety and fumble return for a touchdown against Baylor showed his awareness and decision-making were problematic.
Outside of that, Ewers has all the tools to be the best quarterback in the league and some throws that are already NFL-ready.

He will be accompanied by the best supporting cast in the league, with big-play threat Xavier Worthy and first-round caliber tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders returning.
The Horns will get former Wyoming star Isaiah Neyor back, veteran Jordan Whittington and Georgia transfer AD Mitchell, who suffered a season-ending injury before the 2022 campaign.
His arm talent is there; the receiving talent is there. Ewers has all the tools to be the top quarterback in the league. But many college football fans have heard the hype from Texas and are still waiting for answers. The same could be said with Ewers’ consistency.
