Quinn Ewers was supposed to win Ohio State a national title. Now, he’s trying to stop it from happening.
In the summer of 2021, the nation’s top-ranked high school football recruit, Quinn Ewers, arrived on Ohio State's campus in what represented a recruiting coup.
In the summer of 2021, the nation’s top-ranked high school football recruit, Quinn Ewers, arrived on Ohio State's campus in what represented a recruiting coup.
Less than a year earlier, the teenage quarterback from the Dallas suburbs had backed away from his commitment to play for the Texas Longhorns and reopened his recruitment. Now, he was seemingly next in line to help the powerhouse Buckeyes win college football’s national championship.
More than three years later, Ohio State’s two dominant victories to open the College Football Playoff have landed it in Friday’s semifinal in Arlington, Texas. For Ewers, a national title is just two wins away.
Except now, he plays for Texas.
The reunion carrying national-title stakes would be remarkable as a football story alone. Jack Sawyer, a star Buckeyes defensive end who will spend Friday trying to sack Ewers, was once his roommate.
