Perspective
Ewers was born on March 15, 2003, in San Antonio, Texas.[1] He spent his early years in Pleasanton, Texas, before his family moved to Southlake, Texas, when he was eight.[1][2] Ewers attended Carroll Senior High School, where he played football under coach Riley Dodge and also previously played baseball.[3] As a sixth grader, he was offered a football scholarship by Graham Harrell.[4]
As a high school sophomore, he completed 291 of 402 passes for 3,998 yards with 45 touchdowns against three interceptions.[5] Ewers and Southlake Carroll advanced to the Texas 6A Division I quarterfinals before being defeated by Duncanville.[6] 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 led by fellow five star recruit and future Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik.[7][8] Following the season, he participated in the 2021 Elite 11 competition, but only managed sixth place in the competition.[9][10][11]
Going into his senior year, Ewers was considered by multiple outlets to be the top overall recruit in the 2022 recruiting class.[12][13][14] Ewers initially committed to the Texas Longhorns in August 2020, where he would have been the first quarterback since Vince Young to receive a perfect 1.000 247Sports composite rating.[15] Ewers would later decommit from the Longhorns in October, before committing to play for the Ohio State Buckeyes in November 2020.[16]
