Texas has a starting quarterback. It's the longer-tenured former No. 1 overall recruit.
Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian named Quinn Ewers the team's starting quarterback Saturday after the sophomore led his team to a 21-10 win in the Orange-White spring game. Ewers finished the game 16-of-23 for 195 yards and one touchdown.
That touchdown was his highlight of the game:
Texas starting QB battle featured Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning
Texas entered this spring with two clear candidates for the starting quarterback in Ewers and Manning, the newly arrived freshman who has been widely hailed as a generational quarterback recruit. Both Ewers and Manning were the No. 1 overall recruit in their classes, according to Rivals. Also in the mix was 2022 four-star recruit Maalik Murphy.
A player in Ewers' position would normally be all but guaranteed the top job, but the hype surrounding Manning and Ewers' up-and-down freshman season last year added intrigue. Ewers, who transferred in from Ohio State last offseason, threw for 2,177 yards, 15 touchdowns and six interceptions in 2022 while completing 58.1% of his attempts. Texas finished the season 8-5.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
