AUSTIN, Texas - Former Southlake Carroll star Quinn Ewers has been named the starting quarterback for the University of Texas Longhorns for the upcoming season.
Ewers left Southlake a year early to enroll at Ohio State and start making money through the new name image and likeness rules.
He likely has already made more than $1 million through the deals.
He only took two snaps for the Buckeyes last season before transferring to Texas.
