Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers has been a fixture in mock drafts since before the 2024 college season, though the signal-caller technically has more eligibility after the season. It feels a little safer now to include Ewers in the 2025 NFL Draft projections.
It’s not exactly breaking news, as Ewers has long been suspected (expected?) to declare for the draft following the conclusion of the Longhorns’ season. However, this is the first sourced information that Ewers is set to head to the NFL.
From 247 Texas football insider Chip Brown,
I spoke to two sources close to Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers on Wednesday night who said they expect Ewers to enter the 2025 NFL Draft after this season, meaning Saturday’s game against Kentucky (2:30 p.m., ABC) would be Ewers’ last regular-season home game as a Longhorn.
Texas is positioned to earn a berth in the College Football Playoff, thanks in part to Ewers’ steady play. The junior has completed 68.4 percent of his passes, tossing 21 TDs and 6 INTs.
