Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers has announced his entry into the 2025 NFL Draft. Ewers played three seasons at Texas following his true freshman year at Ohio State.
During his three seasons with the Longhorns, Quinn Ewers started in 36 games, completing 737 passes for 9,128 yards and 68 touchdowns, with 28 interceptions. He achieved a career completion rate of 64.9%.
Ewers also added eight rushing touchdowns during his tenure with the Longhorns. A Texas native, he played a key role in head coach Steve Sarkisian’s rebuilding efforts, joining the program in Sarkisian’s second year in charge.
After finishing his first season at Texas in 2022 with an 8-5 record, Ewers built on that success. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound quarterback guided the Longhorns to consecutive College Football Playoff semifinal appearances.
In 2023, the Longhorns captured the Big 12 Championship on their way to the College Football Playoff. Although Texas missed out on the conference title in 2024, they advanced to the SEC Championship in their debut season in the esteemed league.
Ewers earned significant recognition for his performance over the years, being named a 2024 semifinalist for the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award, the Maxwell Award, and the Davey O’Brien Award, as well as a Top 10 Finalist for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award.
In 2023, he delivered a standout performance in the Big 12 Championship, earning Player of the Game honours after throwing for 452 yards and four touchdowns against Oklahoma State.
ESPN NFL insider Mel Kiper Jr. ranked Quinn Ewers as the No. 5 quarterback in his most recent 2025 NFL Draft Big Board. However, reports indicate that NFL scouts have mixed opinions about Ewers.
While his collegiate stats may not be overly flashy, Ewers brings valuable experience in Steve Sarkisian’s intricate offensive system, which closely resembles the structure of an NFL offense compared to most college programs.
On the flip side, Ewers has had a history of injuries that may concern some NFL organizations. No matter how Quinn Ewers’ NFL career pans out, Sarkisian is happy to have been able to coach him for three years.
“I’m super proud of Quinn. He’s taught me a lot, probably unknowingly to him, because what he went through every year dealing with injury, what he goes through where I don’t know if he’d ever live up to the standards of what everybody thinks he’s supposed to be,” Sarkisian said. “But at the end of the day, all he did was show up every day and work and be a great leader and be a great teammate.
“All he did was come to work every day. All he did was be a great teammate. All he did was work on his crap, get himself as healthy as he could when he was injured, and then show up when it was time to show up.”
The NFL Draft will take place from April 24-26 in at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
