Where did Quinn Ewers go to college?
Quinn Ewers, a native of Southlake, Texas, attended Ohio State out of high school. Per 247Sports, Ewers signed with Ohio State over a boatload of offers that included Alabama, Texas and more. After one redshirt year at Ohio State, Ewers transferred to Texas in 2022.
What kind of prospect was Quinn Ewers in high school?
Ewers was one of the greatest quarterback recruits of all-time. Only Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields and Bryce Young were rated higher as quarterbacks and only 11 players across all positions were ever rated higher than Ewers coming out of high school. Offensive tackle Walker Little and defensive end Myles Garrett are only two players in Texas to be rated higher than Ewers.
Ewers was a unanimous five-star quarterback — while also playing baseball in the spring — at Southlake Carroll High School and was originally the top player in the class of 2022 before reclassifying to the class of 2021, skipping his senior season. In 22 career games, he completed 450 of 643 passes (70 percent) for 6,445 passing yards, 73 passing touchdowns and just eight interceptions, adding 701 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns. Ewers led Southlake Carrol to a 12-2 record in 2020, going 6-0 in district play to win the district title en route to the 6A Division 1 state championship game.
Ewers was an All-American in 2020 and a finalist for the Landry Award, named second-team 6A All-State in 2019 and 2019’s unanimous MVP of District 5-6A and first-team all-district. Although he graduated early, Ewers was still selected to participate in the 2022 All-American Bowl.
