Will Quinn Ewers head to the NFL after the season or remain at Texas? That’s what many fans have wondered, and the Longhorns quarterback has provided an answer.
Ewers sat down with ESPN college football reporter Pete Thamel ahead of his Longhorns’ College Football Playoff semifinal game against the Ohio State Buckeyes at the Cotton Bowl on Friday. In the interview, Ewers was asked about his plans for after the season.
“Do you expect to play college football next year?” Thamel asked Ewers.
“No, I don’t,” the Longhorns quarterback replied.

There has been talk that Ewers could leave Texas as a transfer so that the Longhorns could make room for Arch Manning. But instead of that happening, it seems like Ewers will test out the NFL draft.
Ewers walked with his teammates on Senior Day in November, which suggested this would be his last year with the Longhorns.
