Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers has reportedly received a $6 million offer from an unnamed school to enter the transfer portal and continue his college career, foregoing the 2025 NFL Draft.
Ewers, who began his collegiate journey at Ohio State before transferring to Texas, has been instrumental in the Longhorns’ offense. This season, he has thrown for 2,867 yards and 26 touchdowns, leading Texas to a spot in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal against Arizona State.
The reported offer raises questions about potential tampering, as Ewers is not currently in the transfer portal. Such overtures, if made while a player is still with their current program, can violate NCAA regulations. Additionally, the timing of this offer, just before a crucial playoff game, adds complexity to Ewers’ decision-making process regarding his future in college football or a move to the NFL.
Ewers’ backup, Arch Manning, has also shown promise this season, appearing in nine games and throwing for 939 yards and nine touchdowns.
As the situation develops, it underscores the evolving dynamics of college football, where NIL deals and transfer opportunities significantly influence player decisions and program strategies.
