I hope ND is not seriously considering picking up Ewers. Freeman recently said there is no plan to go to the portal this year for a QB; I hope that hasn't changed. Ewers is overrated in my eyes. Not big or particularly mobile. Doesn't have a particularly strong arm. Slow to process the field, though he usually makes good decisions. UT fans are mostly clamoring for Arch Manning, though some of that may be the shiny new toy syndrome. It is a near certainty that Manning will start next year, so Ewers will either be playing somewhere else or holding a clipboard in the NFL. There is no way Ewers will go in the first round of the NFL draft, IMO. He can probably make more NIL money than he will get in the NFL next year.
I am a little concerned about CJ Carr's elbow injury. I read he fractured his right elbow during a practice in September and hasn't done much throwing since then. I suppose a fracture is better than a UCL injury, but I don't know enough about elbow fractures to know whether the injury will be a long-term concern. While I like Steve Angeli, he doesn't move the needle for me. Either Carr or Minchey will have to be the man next year.
