According to Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports, Ewers will play at Texas.

After losing the starting quarterback battle to C.J. Stroud, Ewers entered the transfer portal.

Ewers was a star at the high school in Texas and committed to OSU. Ewers was rated as a 5-star prospect and the No. 1 overall recruit in the class.

It was clear that Ewers had no chance of playing time after he lost the starting quarterback job to Stroud.

The NCAA's name, image and likeness (NIL) rule changes allowed Ewers to sign a contract with GT Sports Marketing, despite going to Ohio State.

Ewers committed to Texas in August 2020, but then he decommited two months later.

It was thought that Ewers would return to his home state of Texas to continue his college football career after entering the transfer portal.

While he isn't a college player, Ewers was a dominant player in high school.

As a sophomore, Ewers threw for 3,998 yards and 45 touchdown, and followed that up with 2,442 yards and 28 touchdown as a junior, but he missed six games with an injury.

Ewers is a strong candidate to be Texas' starting quarterback when he is eligible.

There was some question whether Ewers would commit to Texas again after decommitting, but he will continue his college career with the Longhorns.

The first year of Steve Sarkisian's tenure at Texas was disappointing, as the Longhorns went 4-7, marking their first losing record in two years.

Ewers's decision to commit to Texas suggests that he believes that Sark will give him a chance to succeed, despite the fact that he is considered one of the best offensive minds in college football.
