Sun Jan 12 03:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Texas QB Ewers Declares for NFL Draft, Faces Uncertain Future

**ARLINGTON, Texas** – University of Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers announced his intention to enter the 2025 NFL Draft following the Longhorns’ loss in the College Football Playoff semifinals. While not making a definitive statement, Ewers confirmed he doesn’t plan to return to college football. Sources close to Ewers confirm this is his likely path.

Ewers, a fourth-year senior with 36 career starts, boasts impressive statistics: 8,845 passing yards, 66 touchdowns, and a 65.1% completion percentage. His performance against Ohio State (283 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT) capped off a season where he earned second-team All-SEC honors and led Texas to the playoff semifinals for the second consecutive year. However, injuries and inconsistency, including six interceptions in his last five games, have clouded his NFL outlook.

NFL scouts remain divided on Ewers’ potential. One general manager sees him as a top-100 pick, while others place him outside that range. There’s significant variance in scouting opinions, with some believing his development could be hindered by a lack of consistent starts. However, his experience playing in a complex offensive system under Texas coach Steve Sarkisian, who has NFL experience, is expected to positively influence NFL coaches’ evaluations. An NFL executive suggests that coaches, who begin their scouting process later, may hold a more favorable view of Ewers than some scouts currently do.

Ewers’ signature wins against Alabama and Michigan highlight his talent, but his injury history and late-season inconsistencies present challenges. He aims to improve his draft stock through workouts and interviews with coaching staffs, hoping to showcase his abilities and address any concerns.
