Texas freshman phenom quarterback Quinn Ewers took a nasty hit in the Longhorns game against Alabama on Saturday.
The rising star was forced out of the high-profile clash near the end of the first quarter in Austin, Texas. Ewers was taken down by Alabama defender Dallas Turner, who landed on the quarterback and drove him into the ground.
Turner was given a personal foul for the hit. Ewers stayed down on the turf for several moments before he was helped off the field.
