Texas Quinn Ewers expects to enter NFL draft in major 2025 shakeup

Quinn Ewers’ collegiate future might not include much more.It appears he has his eyes set on the NFL.

In an interview aired on “College GameDay” before the Texas-Ohio State College Football Playoff semifinal, the Longhorns’ star quarterback told ESPN’s Pete Thamel point blank that he does not expect to be playing college football next season.“No, I don’t,” Ewers said when asked if he sees himself on an NCAA gridiron next season before responding “yes” that he believes he will be playing in the NFL next season.

ESPN then reported that sources close to Ewers said there is an “overwhelming likelihood” that the signal-caller declares for the draft.While far from definitive, it is the closest to an answer Ewers has given about his thoughts for 2025, as speculation has run rampant about his football future.At the end of December, On3 reported one unnamed school made a $6 million pitch to lure Ewers to play for that team and leave Texas.Ewers was asked on Wednesday about the rumors about his future, and he avoided giving a straight answer.“I mean, right now, I’m just, I’m just not worried about all that stuff,” Ewers told reporters on Wednesday, according to USA Today.“I mean, people can say all they want to say, but, you know, I’m just focused on Friday at this point in time.” He was then asked if a result in either the CFP semis or potential final would factor into a decision for next season.
