Thu Jan 02 17:10:00 UTC 2025: ## $6 Million Offer Tempts Texas QB Quinn Ewers to Transfer

**AUSTIN, TX –** Texas Longhorns starting quarterback Quinn Ewers is reportedly facing a staggering $6 million offer to transfer schools and remain in college for another year, according to On3 Sports. The unnamed school’s purported attempt to lure Ewers, who is slated to start in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals against the Arizona State Sun Devils on New Year’s Day, would constitute a significant act of tampering if true.

Ewers, a redshirt junior who transferred to Texas from Ohio State, has had a strong season, throwing for 2,867 yards and 26 touchdowns despite missing two games due to injury. He is considered a top NFL draft prospect for 2025, recently ranked No. 5 by ESPN’s Mel Kiper. A recent report by Orangebloods suggested Ewers would enter the NFL draft this spring, paving the way for backup quarterback Arch Manning to take the starting role. However, Manning publicly reaffirmed his commitment to Texas earlier this week.

The massive offer casts a shadow over Texas’ playoff preparations, raising questions about the ethics of such a substantial financial incentive offered mid-season while Ewers remains on the Longhorns roster. The NCAA is likely to take a close look at this report.
