During an interview back in January she shared how she supported him even when he used to play in the home, remembering the fond memories with Quinn he said, “The house was meant to be lived in and I figured I’d hang my paintings back up when Quinn went to college.” She said this while remembering an incident when Quinn tossed a ball that passed over her head while she was loading the dishwasher.

Quinn is the no.1 and no.2 prospect in the 2021 and 2022 classes, respectively. An impressive QB, he has been throwing balls with his dad since he was just 3. During his childhood, Quinn attended an informal QB camp which was run and tutored by Soony Dtemer, whose son Ty won the legendary Heisman Trophy. After the camp, Sonny told Curtis that Quinn was special. Well, it indeed takes no time to identify a shining diamond and Sonny did it well in the case of Quinn at that young of an age!
Since then, he has just been growing. From his high school team to Ohio State and then in the Longhorns, during all these years he has just polished his QB skills and nothing else. Quinn is also the first amateur athlete to sign a NIL deal which was worth over $1 million. For a young kid like his, it is a great deal. Speaking of his worth once Quinn was a cover athlete for EA Sports College Football 25 along with legendary players like Donovan Edwards and Travis Hunter, whom everyone looks up to in one way or the other. Well, still a lot is to come his way as he bags a lot of talent with him. Let us cross our fingers for the bright future of this young athlete.
