When Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers walked into Darrell K. Royal Memorial Stadium for the opening round of the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff, he wasn’t just representing Texas but also showing support for President-Elect Trump.
Ewers walked into the stadium wearing a pinstriped Navy blue suit, a red tie, and a gold tie clip.
