Texas answered by landing Ewers, 247Sports’ top-ranked rising junior, on Aug. 14. Adding two of the nation’s best arm talents to the Big 12 rivalry is sure to increase the likelihood of fireworks in the years to come. Each five-star quarterback fits well with his future college coach and offensive scheme.”

From the 247Sports’ report: “A protector of Dak Prescott and road grader clearing the path for Ezekiel Elliott, Collins signed with Dallas as an undrafted free agent in 2015 before quickly turning into one of the franchise’s best players up front. He signed a 5-year extension with the Cowboys prior to the 2019 season that will keep him in Dallas for the foreseeable future as Jerry Jones tries to build around a young nucleus on offense.”
