“Heavenly father, well, we pray that you just be with the families that were in the explosion yesterday here in our own county, Lord,” he said.
Ewers led the No. 3 Longhorns to their first appearance in the College Football Playoff and their best season since 2009.
Ewers was the No. 1 recruit in the nation when he left Carroll High before his senior season to enroll at Ohio State, where he played behind future Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud in 2021 before he transferred to Texas.
