Rumors and
reports continue to swirl in the whirlwind recruitment of former Ohio State
Buckeyes quarterback Quinn Ewers, who entered the NCAA transfer portal on Friday
and is now considering the TCU Horned Frogs, Texas Longhorns, and Texas Tech Red
Raiders.With the Southlake Carroll product seemingly intent on returning to the
Lone Star State

Jersey, any interest from the Texas AM Aggies was quickly shot down by a
TexAgs report that head coach Jimbo Fisher is all in with Cypress Bridgeland
quarterback Conner Weigman, a consensus five-star prospect ranked as the No. 2
quarterback nationally, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.A Sunday
trip to meet with new Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire and a Monday trip to
Fort Worth established the Ewers sweepstakes as a three-team race.Of those three
teams, the Horned Frogs may be on the outside looking in, with a source telling
Chris Hummer of 247Sports that TCU is in third place for Ewers

establishing his recruitment as a likely head-to-head battle between Texas and
Texas Tech.For an elite prospect like Ewers, Texas Tech is an odd contender, but
the hire of McGuire combined with a number of other factors have given the Red
Raiders a fighting chance. The former head coach at high school powerhouse Cedar
Hill, McGuire experience under Matt Rhule at Baylor and his connections to Texas
high school football have generated a rare buzz in Lubbock.As Collin Kennedy of
247Sports lays out, those other factors include a push from Texas Tech alum Pat
Mahomes and the hire of Air Raid guru Zach Kittley as offensive coordinator.But
it the unprecedented combination of immediate eligibility for only the second
quarterback to receive a 1.0000 rating from 247Sports and the new NIL rights
that has created a truly unique situation the quarterback depth chart and path
to early playing time may end up mattering less than the NIL deals Ewers can
secure at the school of his choice. The belief in Lubbock is that Texas Tech can
compete with Texas, but the numbers being thrown around in Austin are truly
astounding.Word on the street is that first round draft pick-level NIL money is
on the table for Quinn Ewers if he chooses Texas as his transfer destination.
The weaponization on the NIL front is fully underway.So $50,000 annually for scholarship offensive linemen from Horns
with Heart is only a drop in the bucket as the deep pockets of Texas donors are
now coming to bear on NIL deals with the early signing period looming.Although
there not a public timetable for Ewers to make a decision with his circle
tightening since entering the portal as Hummer noted but the widespread
belief is that hel commit quickly enough to ensure that he has time to do some
recruiting before Early Signing Day next Wednesday

Jersey.The decision to re-classify to 2021 kept Ewers from truly becoming a
recruiting rainmaker for Ohio State, but it has a chance of happening now,
especially if Ewers commits to Texas and convinces some of the top offensive
linemen and maybe even a wide receiver or two to join him on the Forty Acres.For
now, it time for Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian to close the most
important recruitment of his brief tenure in Austin. More FromBurnt Orange
