Quinn Ewers announced on social media Thursday he will return to the Texas Longhorns for his senior season. 

Ewers, who led the Longhorns to a College Football Playoff berth this past season, has been one of the top quarterbacks in the NCAA, and some believed he'd declare for the NFL draft.

But Ewers may have some unfinished business after losing to the Washington Huskies in the CFP semifinals.

"One more year with my teammates and one more year of development with Coach Sark [Steve Sarkisian] made the most sense," Ewers said in a video on his Instagram.

Ewers’ decision may not be a surprise to many, though, because there were rumblings he wanted to stay to work with Sarkisian and the Longhorns’ offense again. 

Texas will move to the SEC next year to compete against the upper echelon of college football teams.

Georgia’s Carson Beck is expected to compete with Ewers in 2024 to be the top quarterback in college football, and both figure to be top prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft.

The future of Arch Manning, the highly touted prospect at Texas, is something to watch as Ewers returns. Manning, the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning, will be a true sophomore in 2024.
