Texas QB Quinn Ewers projected to be Heisman Trophy finalist

The last Texas Longhorn to win the Heisman Trophy was Ricky Williams back in 1998 with Vince Young (2005) and Colt McCoy (2008) both finishing runner-up for the award.
However, many people think the 26-year drought may be broken in 2024 as quarterback Quinn Ewers returns to the Forty Acres for his third year as a starter. With the Longhorns transitioning to the SEC and boasting one of the best-receiving cores in football, Ewers will certainly be at the center of the Heisman race. Coming out of high school, Ewers was widely regarded as one of the best quarterback prospects of all time and it still feels like there is another level to his game he is yet to tap into.
Going into this season, the Heisman Trophy is open for the taking as the top five finishers from 2023 all moved on to the NFL this off-season.
When the dust settles, Pickell actually projects that Quinn Ewers wins the Heisman Trophy in 2024 saying,
“I think Steve Sarkisian will go to even another level of this offense with him being his third year in the system. I love the weapons. I love the schedule. I think Quinn Ewers wins the Heisman Trophy.”
