Quinn Ewers Declares for NFL Draft as Arch Manning Era Begins at Texas

Austin: So, Quinn Ewers just announced he’s going pro and heading to the NFL draft. It’s a big deal for Texas football. He had a solid run, leading the Longhorns to a Big 12 title and a couple of playoff appearances. But let’s be real, fans were itching for Arch Manning to step in.

Ewers threw for over 9,000 yards and 68 touchdowns during his time at Texas. He hinted that this would be his last season, and now it’s official. In his farewell post, he shared how much he cherished the relationships he built with coaches and teammates.

He leaves behind a legacy of 27 wins, ranking fourth among Texas quarterbacks. Ewers helped the Longhorns snag their first Big 12 title in 14 years and even got them to the SEC championship game. But he faced some tough moments too, like that fumble against Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl.

Originally from the Dallas area, Ewers was a top high school quarterback before joining Ohio State. After a year there, he transferred to Texas, where he started right away. Unfortunately, injuries plagued him throughout his college career, but he still managed to lead the team to impressive records.

Now, with Ewers moving on, it’s Arch Manning’s time to shine. The nephew of NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning, he’s been waiting for this moment. He had a decent season, throwing for 939 yards and nine touchdowns, but he hasn’t had much playing time yet.

Texas fans are excited to see what Manning can do as the full-time starter. With some key players leaving for the NFL, he’ll have a chance to lead a revamped offense. It’s a new chapter for Texas football, and everyone’s eager to see how it unfolds.
