Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers has made significant strides in his performance, particularly in his pocket presence, according to coach Steve Sarkisian. As the program prepares to join the SEC, Ewers' growth has become a valuable asset for the team.

In an interview with the Austin American-Statesman, Sarkisian highlighted Ewers' development in his ability to navigate the pocket, emphasizing its importance for any quarterback. Sarkisian praised Ewers' improvement in trusting the timing of his drop, keeping his eyes up, and making subtle movements to maintain his vision.

Ewers, a product of Southlake Carroll, has been a standout performer for the Longhorns over the past two years, giving Sarkisian the opportunity to closely observe his progress. Despite Ewers' significant growth, Sarkisian believes there is always room for improvement.

During the previous season, Ewers showcased his talent by completing 272 out of 394 passes for 3,479 yards. He also recorded 22 touchdown passes and only six interceptions, displaying his precision and decision-making skills. Additionally, Ewers contributed five rushing touchdowns to help lead the Longhorns to a Big 12 championship and secure a spot in the College Football Playoff with an impressive 12-1 record.

Ewers' exceptional performance on the field did come with some setbacks, as he was forced to miss two games due to injury. However, his overall contributions were pivotal in the team's success and showcased his potential as a top-tier quarterback.

As the Texas Longhorns transition to the SEC, having a quarterback like Ewers, with his improved pocket presence, will undoubtedly be valuable. His ability to remain composed under pressure and make accurate throws will be instrumental in facing the tough competition of the SEC.

With Ewers' continued development and the guidance of Sarkisian, the Longhorns are poised to make a strong impact in their new conference. As they head into the upcoming season, all eyes will be on Quinn Ewers to see how he can further refine his skills and lead the Longhorns to success in the SEC.
