Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers declared for the 2025 NFL Draft on Wednesday. Ewers guided the Longhorns to two College Football Playoff appearances and posted a 21-5 record as a starter over the past two years.

Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers has declared for the 2025 NFL draft, he announced Wednesday. Ewers, a redshirt junior with one season of eligibility remaining, led the Longhorns to the College Football Playoff semifinals in each of the last two years. In 36 games at Texas from 2022-24, he passed for 9,128 yards and 64 touchdowns.

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

Quinn Ewers is heading to the NFL. After much speculation as to whether the Texas quarterback would enter the transfer portal, where he reportedly had multiple lucrative offers, the junior has decided to enter the 2025 NFL Draft.

The decision by Ewers to leave Texas for the NFL is hardly a surprise. Ewers considered entering the NFL draft after the 2023 season but opted to return to school for another year
