In a move that has sent shockwaves through the college football and NFL communities, Quinn Ewers has announced his highly anticipated decision regarding the NFL Draft. The star quarterback, who has been a standout for the Texas Longhorns, made his announcement during a press conference Monday, leaving fans and analysts buzzing about his future.
Ewers, widely regarded as one of the most talented quarterbacks in college football, confirmed he will forgo the upcoming NFL Draft to return to Texas for another season. The decision comes as a surprise to many, as Ewers was projected to be a top pick in the 2025 draft class. Instead of pursuing NFL stardom, Ewers stated his desire to further develop his skills, chase a national championship, and solidify his legacy at Texas.
“I’m grateful for all the support I’ve received from my family, coaches, and teammates,” Ewers said. “While the NFL has always been my dream, I feel like there’s unfinished business here at Texas. We’ve built something special, and I want to be part of bringing a championship back to this program.”
Ewers’ decision could have significant ripple effects on both college football and the NFL. For Texas, his return cements the Longhorns as legitimate national title contenders next season. His leadership and on-field excellence have been pivotal to the team’s success, and his presence will provide continuity and momentum heading into 2025.
Meanwhile, NFL scouts and general managers will have to wait another year to see Ewers enter the draft. His choice highlights a growing trend among top college players who prioritize personal development and team goals over immediate professional opportunities.
Fans are divided on the decision, with some praising his loyalty and maturity while others question the potential risks of delaying his NFL career. Regardless of opinions, one thing is certain: Ewers’ return to Texas will keep the Longhorns at the center of the college football spotlight for another thrilling season.
