Ewers attended Ohio State University in 2021 before transferring to Texas in 2022, where he became their starter. He is noted for being the first amateur athlete to land a Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) deal worth over 1 million. Early life and high school career Ewers was born on March 15, 2003, in San Antonio. He grew up in Southlake, Texas and attended Carroll High School, where he played football under coach Riley Dodge and also previously played baseball. As a sixth grader, he was offered a football scholarship by Graham Harrell. As a sophomore, he completed 291 of 402 passes for 3,998 yards with 45 touchdowns against three interceptions. Ewers and Southlake Carroll advanced to the Texas 6A Division I quarterfinals before being defeated by Duncanville. Ewers finished his junior season with 2,442 yards and 28 touchdown passes in eight games, missing six games due to injury, as Carroll advanced to the 6A Division I Texas State Championship Game before losing to Westlake High School. Following the season, he participated in the 2021 Elite 11 competition, but only managed sixth place in the competition. Going into his senior year, Ewers was considered by multiple outlets to be the top overall recruit in the 2022 recruiting class. Ewers initially committed to the University of Texas in August 2020, where he would have been the first quarterback since fellow former campus recruit Vince Young to receive a perfect 1.000 247Sports composite rating. Ewers would later decommit from the Longhorns in October, before committing to play for the Ohio State Buckeyes in November 2020. College career
