Ewers turned down an $8 million NIL offer to transfer to another school for his final year of eligibility, according to a report from 247 Sports’ Chip

Ewers became one of just four quarterbacks to lead the Longhorns to a Big 12 Championship alongside Young, McCoy, and James Brown. By getting the Horns to an SEC Championship in their first year in the conference, Ewers became the first-ever Texas quarterback to lead his team to back-to-back conference title games.

Quinn Ewers is headed to the 2025 NFL Draft following an up and down season with the Texas Longhorns. Where will he land?

Texas junior quarterback Quinn Ewers has declared for the NFL draft, ending a Longhorns career in which he led the program to a Big 12 championship and twice to the College Football Playoff but was not always embraced by a fan base eagerly waiting for Arch Manning to take over.

The decision was largely expected after Ewers told ESPN last week that he didn’t plan to return to college football in 2025.

Ewers, a three-year starter, was expected to turn pro after leading the Longhorns to consecutive playoff appearances.

After three years as a starter and two deep Playoff runs, Ewers has accomplished what he set out to do in Austin.
