Quinn Ewers Faces Former Team Ohio State in College Football Playoff Semifinal

The Texas quarterback reflects on his journey from Ohio State to leading the Longhorns, with faith and redemption driving his preparation for Friday's Cotton Bowl showdown.

Quinn Ewers, once the top high school quarterback recruit, began his college career at Ohio State before transferring to Texas after one season.
Ewers cited faith and a desire to return closer to home as key factors in his decision to leave Ohio State and join the Longhorns under coach Steve Sarkisian.
The quarterback's decision to reclassify and enroll early at Ohio State was partially influenced by the opportunity to capitalize on NIL deals, which were not available to high school athletes in Texas at the time.
Ewers has since become a prominent figure in college sports' NIL era, securing multiple endorsement deals and leveraging his platform to share his personal values, including his faith.
Friday's semifinal in Arlington, Texas, pits Ewers against his former team, with a national championship berth on the line for both Texas and Ohio State.
