Texas Quarterback Quinn Ewers Declares for NFL Draft Ahead of College Football Playoff

Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers has announced his intention to enter the 2024 NFL Draft, following a breakout season where he threw for 3,665 yards and 30 touchdowns. Although Texas fell to Michigan in the College Football Playoff semifinal, Ewers expressed his excitement for the next chapter in his football career. ‘I feel like I’ve done everything I could here at Texas and I’m ready for the NFL,’ Ewers stated. The 21-year-old player made headlines after transferring from Ohio State and is now viewed as a strong prospect by NFL scouts. ESPN’s NFL Draft analysts have highlighted his strong arm and ability to make plays under pressure. Ewers is expected to participate in the NFL Combine in February, where he hopes to improve his draft stock further. ‘I’m going to give it everything I’ve got,’ Ewers said in a press conference. His decision comes as Texas prepares to transition into the Southeastern Conference (SEC) next season, increasing the stakes for both the program and the player. With notable QBs like Arch Manning joining the roster, it remains to be seen how Texas will manage its quarterback depth in the future.
