College Football 2024: The Surprising Favorite Poised to Dominate the Most Unpredictable Heisman Race Yet
The run game isn’t part of his repertoire, as Texas dialed up just six designed runs for him in 2023, and they went nowhere (average gain: 0.5 yards). He was a solid scrambler, taking off 35 times for 6.4 yards. But the last quarterback to win the Heisman with fewer than 97 credited carries in a season was Jameis Winston in 2013.
Maybe Ewers’ arm and the Longhorns’ receivers (no longer including Xavier Worthy, but with Alabama’s Isaiah Bond joining up) will be good enough to do the job. Ewers’ benefitted from an 82.4% open-target rate last year, which was No. 1 among the ‘24 Heisman hopefuls, and kept things tidy for his team.
