Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers is reportedly receiving offers from other schools as early as the end of his 2024 season with the Longhorns.

Ewers has received a $6 million offer to enter the NCAA transfer portal instead of the NFL draft this spring, according to On3’s Pete Nakos.

According to Nakos, “several Power Four schools” are working to get Ewers in the portal ahead of his final year of college eligibility.

Ewers and the Longhorns are currently preparing to take on Arizona State in the Peach Bowl on Wednesday. The winner advances to face either Oregon or Ohio State in the CFP semifinals.

Nakos’ report comes ahead of the potential closing of Ewers’ window as QB1 in Austin.

Arch Manning have said he has no intention of entering the transfer portal this off-season. After two seasons serving as Ewers’ backup, he will campaign for the starting job in 2025.

Ewers could also choose to enter the NFL draft, where it seems likely that there will be more NFL teams in need of quarterbacks than there are consensus top prospects.

When asked about his future ahead of the playoffs, Ewers said he was “not sure yet” what he planned to do.

“I’m just trying to win these games. I haven’t thought about anything beyond that,” Ewers said on Dec. 16, per Erik Henrik by Horns247.

Where Ewers ends up on pro-draft boards may ultimately be determined by how far he is able to lead Texas in the first expanded CFP.

Ewers went 17-of-24 for 202 yards and a touchdown, while also recording an interception on a dropped pass, to lead Texas to a 38-24 first-round victory over Clemson.

The Texas starter has struggled with red-zone efficiency through his third season as a college starter. If he’s able to show progress inside the 20 while leading the Longhorns to a win over ASU, he could boost his draft stock while increasing how much other college programs are willing to pay to keep him in the NCAA.
