Ewers, a three-year starter, was expected to turn pro after leading the Longhorns to consecutive playoff appearances.

Ewers, a three-year starter, declared for the NFL draft via social media Wednesday. He leaves with 27 wins, the fourth most by a Longhorn QB.

After three years as a starter and two deep Playoff runs, Ewers has accomplished what he set out to do in Austin.

Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers will declare for the 2025 NFL Draft, he announced Wednesday. The decision ends his career with the Longhorns and clears the way for Arch Manning to start in 2025.  Ewers came to Austin as a transfer from Ohio State with tremendous hype as the first perfectly-rated quarterback in the 247Sports Composite since Vince Young.

The former Longhorns signal caller will take his talents to the NFL after two trips to the College Football Playoff.

The Dallas Morning News' Kevin Sherrington recently wrote that the second or third round seems about right for Ewers, but the volatility of the quarterback position could see him go higher. Vinnie Iyer of The Sporting News had Ewers going in the first round of his latest mock draft, landing with the Pittsburgh Steelers at No. 21 overall.
