Ewers, who is just 21 years old. He transferred to Texas from Ohio State in December 2021.
Ewers became an immediate key backer for the Longhorns, starting at quarterback in 2022.
His performances have been noticeable; he set a record for the most passing yards in a single conference championship game in the 2023 Big 12 Championship Game and won MVP.
Over his career at Texas, he has thrown for 7,378 yards and 56 touchdown passes, putting him in the conversation of the best quarterbacks in Texas history.
With the Sun Devils looming in the quarterfinals of the College Football Playoff, Ewers has reportedly received a severe offer to turn down the NFL Draft and continue playing at a non-specified school.
Quinn Ewers’ NIL Deal Has Not Only Drawn The Attention Of Fans But Has Also Received Reactions From Former Teammates.
The offer is reportedly worth $6 million, far outpacing his current NIL value of roughly $4.3 million.
The offer reportedly came as rumors mixed that Ewers’ backup, Arch Manning, was seeking to start for Texas next season, a factor that could impact Ewers’ decision-making process.
News of a possible Ewers transfer has not only drawn the attention of fans but has also caught reactions from former teammates.
Most notably, Johntay Cook, a former wide receiver for Texas who recently transferred to Washington, took to social media to come at Ewers, saying, “wasting y’all money fr.”
Cook later deleted this post, adding to Ewers’ situation drama.
Despite the social media discussions, he seemed to take the high road when he wrote-:
nothing but love for my former teammates at my previous university. I thank you all for the great competition and memories. Gods plan not mine🙏🏾

Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian has not talked to Ewers yet about his future but also made a point that players should focus on the present while in the playoffs, saying-:
“I just tell them all, focus on what we’re doing right now And I do that with some of them, because the guys, they want to know. They’re hearing from agents and all that stuff. The best thing they can do for their future, whether they decide to stay or leave, is to play really good in the College Football Playoff because those will be the games that will get evaluated by the NFL anyway”
