My entire life, I’ve dreamed about playing football on the 40 Acres. These past three years have been some of the best years I could have imagined,” Ewers said in a video. “The relationships I’ve built between coaches and teammates will last forever.
“I’m truly thankful for the opportunity to play football in my home state for the best university in the world. With prayer and careful consideration, I’m officially declaring for the NFL Draft.”
Ewers’ decision comes days after Texas’ 28-14 loss to Ohio State in the College Football Playoff Semifinal.
After beginning his collegiate career at Ohio State, Ewers transferred to Texas in Dec. 2021.
Ewers started the next three seasons for the Longhorns, compiling a record of 27-9, including a 21-5 record the last two seasons.
Ewers threw for 9,128 yards, 68 touchdowns, and 24 interceptions with a 64.9 completion percentage in three years at Texas.
Ewers helped Texas return as a national title contender with two consecutive appearances in the College Football Playoff Semifinals.
With Ewers’ departure, Texas will turn to Arch Manning at quarterback for the 2025 season.

With his collegiate career over, Ewers now has his sights on the NFL as he prepares for the draft.
Ewers is a fascinating prospect. Ewers has pro-size – 6′ 2″, 210 lbs – with a lot of arm talent and big game experience. However, Ewers’ inconsistency as a thrower and his weakness in scrambling make him a likely Day 2 pick.
However, Ewers could become the third quarterback behind Miami’s Cam Ward and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders. A quarterback-needy team could easily take Ewers toward the end of the first round.
