Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers announces his decision to enter the NFL Draft, stirring excitement for Arch Manning’s future.
Austin: So, Quinn Ewers is making a big move. He just declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, and there’s buzz about a $6 million NIL deal floating around.
This decision opens the door for Arch Manning to take the reins at Texas. Ewers had a solid run, leading the Longhorns to the College Football Playoff twice.
Now, with all this NIL money flying around, it’s wild to think players can earn more in college than in the pros. Just look at Carson Beck, who transferred to Miami for a reported $4 million.
Even though Ewers had that $6 million offer, he didn’t want to talk about it before Texas faced Ohio State in the playoffs. He was focused on the game, saying he wasn’t worried about the rumors.
In his last college game, he threw for 283 yards and two touchdowns but also lost a crucial fumble. He finished his college career with 68 touchdowns and 24 interceptions.
Ranked as the No. 5 quarterback prospect for 2025, Ewers is likely to be drafted but might not see that $6 million anytime soon. With him gone, it’s now Arch Manning’s time to shine as the starter.
