Cowboys One-Time Target Longhorns QB Quinn Ewers Starts Over in NFL
Cowboys One-Time Target Longhorns QB Quinn Ewers Starts Over in NFL originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Before the Dallas Cowboys executed their trade for backup QB Joe Milton, sources told that the scouting department here had a high opinion of Quinn Ewers. Advertisement Then came the NFL Draft ... and in the eyes of the league? The option was that he deserved only to be the 231st pick in the seventh round of the NFL Draft. What's next for the Texas Longhorns star? The notion that he could someday spark a quarterback controversy in his new job with the Miami Dolphins might sound far-fetched, but to us, it's not as crazy as it seems. Ewers has never been labeled an 'underdog.' From the moment he stepped onto a football field, he was a star. As just a sophomore, he became the starting quarterback at Southlake Carroll, one of the most prestigious high school football programs in the country. His dominant run at the high school level earned him five-star status and the crown of No. 1 overall recruit in the 2021 class, leading to his commitment to Ohio State. His time as a Buckeye was short-lived. After one year of sitting behind C.J. Stroud, Ewers made the decision to return home and transfer to the University of Texas. Advertisement In Austin, head coach Steve Sarkisian handed Ewers the keys to the program, and he delivered. Over the next three seasons, he helped lead Texas back to national relevance, winning a Big 12 Championship, earning two College Football Playoff appearances, and racking up 9,128 passing yards and 76 total touchdowns. So it leads to the questions: How did a quarterback with that resume fall all the way to the seventh round, becoming the last quarterback selected in the 2025 NFL Draft? He led one of college football's premier programs back to prominence, what more could teams possibly want? Well ... it's complicated, and maybe even a little controversial. During Ewers' time at Texas, the Longhorns landed yet another No. 1 overall recruit in 2023, Arch Manning. Football royalty, Manning is the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning and grandson of Archie Manning. As expected, the hype was enormous. College football fans became fixated on the future, with constant calls for Manning to take the field. Any time Arch subbed in for special packages, the crowd erupted — often louder than it did for Ewers himself. Advertisement Fair or not, the narrative started to shift. Despite all that, Ewers remained one of the bigger names in college football. So why did the NFL pass on him for six and a half rounds? His agent, Ron Slavin, put it bluntly to ESPN. 'They thought he was a third- or fourth-round pick,'' Slavin said, "but too big of a name to be a clipboard holder.' In other words, some teams were scared off by Ewers' stature. No front office wants its starting quarterback constantly looking over his shoulder as fans and media clamor for the backup — especially if that backup has a bigger name than the starter. It's the exact situation Ewers experienced at Texas. Advertisement Now, Ewers finds himself in Miami, projected as the third-string quarterback behind Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson. On paper, it sounds like a developmental role. But reality paints a different picture. Tua has struggled with durability, missing 14 games over his first four NFL seasons, while Zach Wilson has bounced around the league struggling with consistency. As the season approaches, the idea of Quinn Ewers getting meaningful snaps in 2025 isn't as far-fetched as it once seemed. In fact, it might be closer to reality than anyone expected. ... and the Cowboys' high opinion of him might be proven right. Get more from Hayden Pustejovsky here.

USC Watches Big Ten Rival Add 4-Star Power Back
USC Watches Big Ten Rival Add 4-Star Power Back originally appeared on Athlon Sports. USC continues to hold the top spot in the national recruiting rankings. One Big Ten rival, however, added a four-star power back who was on the Trojans' radar early on the trail. Advertisement Amari Latimer chose Wisconsin in shutting down his college football recruiting process Saturday. The 6-foot-1, 220-pound Latimer held a litany of scholarship offers. Including the Trojans, who offered back on Feb. 6. Ironically, Latimer's offer came before USC skyrocketed to the top of the rankings with an aggressive February blitz. The native of Tyrone, Georgia pulled in approximately 50 scholarship offers. The Sandy Creek High star reeled in one other Californian offer, but from Atlantic Coast Conference representative Cal. So how did Wisconsin win over the power back compared to USC, Cal, Big Ten champion Oregon and the long list of power conference suitors for him? His father explained it to Evan Flood of 247Sports. Sep 7, 2024; Los Angeles, California, USA; USC Trojans running back Woody Marks (4) runs the ball against Utah State Aggies linebacker Clyde Washington (42) during the second quarter at United Airlines Field at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Jonathan Hui-Imagn ImagesJonathan Hui-Imagn Images "Their relationship is one that Amari sees as almost like a big brother, an authoritative type big brother," said Giimere Sr. "Amari values their conversations." Advertisement He's verbal commit No. 15 for Luke Fickell and the Badgers coaching staff. The Badgers even offered him before USC and Lincoln Riley made their pursuit -- as Wisconsin got on Latimer during the summer of 2023. Latimer became drawn to the pipeline of backs who have strolled through Madison. Names like Jonathan Taylor and Heisman Trophy winner Ron Dayne come to mind. He's also going to join his older brother Geimere Latimer on the roster, as the cornerback came via the transfer portal. But now USC has a future 220-pound locomotive to game plan for in Big Ten play. The Trojans visit Camp Randall in the 2026 season.

Paul Finebaum Takes Huge Shot At Big Ten Football Coach
Paul Finebaum Takes Huge Shot At Big Ten Football Coach originally appeared on The Spun. Paul Finebaum didn't hesitate to take a personal shot at one Big Ten coach after they seemingly eluded to Georgia's Kirby Smart tampering with one of their school's best players. Advertisement Appearing on the "The Triple Option" podcast, Bret Bielema seemed puzzled by running back Justin McCray's transfer to the Bulldogs this offseason. Saying: "We did lose a guy to Georgia. Somehow, he found his way to the portal and 12 hours after being in the portal, he was on a flight to Georgia. I don't know how that happened, but it's crazy." Those comments pretty quickly led to a response from Finebaum, who wasted no time firing back at the Fighting Illini HC for his claims against Kirby and one of the SEC's top powers. "Knowing Bret Bielema for a long time, the only thing that surprised me is understanding his voracious appetite that he didn't bit the microphone and try to swallow it because he doesn't seem to mind running his mouth," the CFB personality said. Advertisement "I would worry more about maybe being successful on the football field so he doesn't get fired there like he did at Arkansas. As opposed to running his mouth and making allegations that there's no chance in the world he can back up," Finebaum concluded.

(Photo by Michael Wade/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images)Finebaum's assessment was certainly a low blow— especially for a coach who's had his share of successes over the years. But the SEC commentator's brand has been one of defending his conference at every turn.
