In a moment that felt like the closing chapter of an unforgettable story, Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers took his final walk off the field as a Longhorn. With the crowd roaring behind him and the sting of a College Football Playoff loss to Ohio State fading, the legacy of No. 3 began to shine through, marking the end of a remarkable journey.
“These past three years have been some of the best years I could have imagined,” Ewers said in his heartfelt announcement. “I’m truly thankful for the opportunity to play football in my home state at the best university in the world.”
Leaving an indelible mark on Texas football, Ewers finished with an impressive 21–5 record, an 80.77% win rate, and led the Longhorns to back-to-back College Football Playoff appearances in his final two seasons. With 9,128 passing yards and 68 touchdowns, he now ranks third in Texas history for both categories, cementing his place in the program’s rich legacy.
Ewers’ arrival at Texas marked a turning point for the Longhorns, who had struggled in the years before his arrival. Under his leadership, Texas shattered a decade-long drought of double-digit win seasons, securing 10 or more victories twice in his tenure.
Now, after three years of rewriting the record books, Ewers has made the bold decision to forgo his final year of eligibility and enter the 2025 NFL Draft. “With prayer and careful consideration, I’m officially declaring for the NFL draft,” Ewers announced.
Regarded as one of the top quarterbacks in the 2025 class, Ewers is already turning heads. Experts believe he’s poised for success in the NFL, with the right system setting him up for greatness. As the draft looms, Texas fans will continue to rally behind their star QB, excited to see where his next chapter takes him.
