Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers will declare for the 2025 NFL Draft, he announced Wednesday. The decision ends his career with the Longhorns and clears the way for Arch Manning to start in 2025.  Ewers came to Austin as a transfer from Ohio State with tremendous hype as the first perfectly-rated quarterback in the 247Sports Composite since Vince Young.

A few accomplished starting quarterbacks return in the SEC next season, but Arch Manning's skills give him a case for being No. 1 in SEC quarterback rankings.

While much of the attention in the immediate aftermath of Texas's 28-14 loss to Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl, may have gone to whether or not this was indeed s

Manning's first game as the unquestioned face of Texas football will be against the same team Ewers faced in his last: Ohio State in Week 1.

Something that Ewers' time in Austin will also be remembered for despite leading Texas to its first Big 12 title since 2009, and two College Football Playoff appearances. The Manning name is simply too big to ignore, and fans are ready for the youngest Manning quarterback to step in.

The moment is here, Arch Manning is the Texas Longhorns starting quarterback. 231 days—that’s the countdown to the next snap for the Texas Longhorns. Notably, they’ll be facing the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Texas QB Arch Manning is expected to get the Longhorns back into the College Football Playoff next year, and more, regardless of who's around him in Austin.

The Texas Longhorns will have high expectations going into 2025 after finishing two consecutive seasons in the College Football Playoff semifinals. Quinn Ewers has not officially announced his intentions for 2025, but the junior quarterback said before the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic on Friday that he expects to enter April's draft.
