Texas’ Ewers Tabbed Davey O’Brien National Quarterback of the Week

FORT WORTH, Texas (Sept. 12, 2023) — Texas sophomore Quinn Ewers has been named Davey O’Brien National Quarterback of the Week, the Davey O’Brien Foundation announced.

On Saturday night, Ewers directed Texas to its first road win over a top-3 team since 1969, a 34-24 victory at No. 3 Alabama. The Southlake, Texas, product completed 24 of 38 passes for 349 yards and three touchdowns. In the fourth quarter, Ewers was 6-for-7 passing for 135 yards and two scores.

Ewers also earned Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week and Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week honors for his performance that snapped Alabama’s 21-game home winning streak. It also halted Alabama’s 57-game regular-season winning streak against nonconference teams.

The Davey O’Brien Foundation was created in 1977, and the National Quarterback Award, the oldest and most prestigious college quarterback award, was first issued in 1981. Over its time, the Davey O’Brien Foundation has given away more than $1.3 million in scholarships and university grants to help high school and college athletes transform leadership on the field into leadership in life.

In 1938, O’Brien, who was a star quarterback for TCU, became the first player ever to win the Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Award in the same year. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1955. For more information, visit www.DaveyOBrienAward.com.
