Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers expects to declare for the 2025 NFL Draft once the Longhorns' 2024 season ends, he told ESPN's Pete Thamel.
Ewers provided an update regarding his future minutes before Texas' College Football Playoff semifinal Friday against Ohio State. He doesn't expect to play college football next season.
It had been rumored that Ewers could potentially play another year of college football and even transfer from the Longhorns, who are expected to turn to Arch Manning at QB.
"Haven't even paid attention to it," Ewers said of the speculation. "I'm not really sure what's goin' on."
Ewers' NFL draft stock is still unclear, and one general manager recently told Thamel he sees the Texas passer as a potential top-100 pick.
Texas has found success with Ewers under center and reached the CFP semifinals in back-to-back years. However, the fourth-year senior - who didn't play much at Ohio State before joining Texas - has lacked consistency.
His pass completion rate dropped from 69% in 2023 to 66.5% in 2024. He has passed for 3,189 yards and an SEC-high 29 touchdowns against 11 interceptions this season after posting a 3,479-22-6 campaign in '23.
