Quinn Ewers is set to leave the Texas Longhorns for the 2025 NFL Draft after leading his team to the Cotton Bowl and coming up short against the Ohio State Buck

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.

In the latest 2025 NFL mock draft by The Athletic, Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers is projected to land with the Seattle Seahawks as the 50th overall pick. The move could position Ewers as the eventual replacement for 34-year-old Geno Smith,
