Despite season lows, Texas’ Jahdae Barron affirms teams’ commitment to Quinn Ewers
The Texas Longhorns squeaked out a somewhat uncomfortable win in Fayetteville over the weekend, even if starting quarterback Quinn Ewers threw for a season-low 176 on 20 out of 32 passes, including two touchdowns. And despite the commendable, albeit at times slow, performance on Ewers’ part, the college football hyper online insist on busting his chops.
Luckily, the team stands firmly behind Ewers.
That much was evidence in starting defensive back Jahdae Barron’s recent comments on Ewers.
Texas DB Jahdae Barron said he went into offensive huddle to hug Quinn Ewers after the fourth-down run: “He has a lot of haters, he has a lot of love. But I love that dude all the way to the fullest. That’s a warrior move.”

Emphasis on the love part, at least from Ewers’ teammates, it seems.
Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian backed up his quarterback in his post-game comments.
“Thought he played pretty efficiently,” Sarkisian said, according to Sports Illustrated. “They were going to play it in a manner, in a style, where they were going to try to keep the ball in front of them and make us work the ball down the field. … And what a play for him there on the fourth down to kind of seal the game. So I was proud of him for that.”
