Sources: Texas QB Quinn Ewers turned down $8 million NIL transfer offer in deciding to enter 2025 NFL Draft​

In this week's edition of "The Insider," Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers turned down an $8 million NIL transfer offer in deciding to enter the 2025 NFL Draft, sources close to Ewers told Horns247.​

Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers turned down an $8 million NIL offer to transfer to another school for his final year of eligibility because he was ready to move on and enter the 2025 NFL and also to preserve his college football experience as a Longhorn, sources close to Ewers told Horns247.

Ewers could've earned more in one season next year than the roughly $6 million in NIL revenue he's earned the past three seasons in Austin, sources told Horns247. Ewers also earned $1.4 million by signing with GT Sports Marketing when he enrolled at Ohio State in the fall of 2021.

Two NFL scouts told Horns247 they expect Ewers to be selected anywhere from late in the first round to early in the third round of April's draft.

First-round selections in the 2025 NFL Draft are projected to sign four-year deals totaling $42.2 million at the top of the first and $13.2 million at the bottom. Second-round picks are projected to sign four-year deals ranging from $10.7 million at the top of the round to $6.8 million at the end.

Players selected at the top of the third round are projected to sign four-year deals totaling $6.4 million.

Oddly enough, Ewers was labeled a money-seeking mercenary when he graduated from Southlake Carroll early, reclassifying to the 2021 recruiting class and taking NIL money after signing with Ohio State. At the time, Ohio allowed high school students to accept NIL money while Texas laws didn't.

"Me and my family had a pretty big opportunity in front of us," Ewers said before the Cotton Bowl matchup with the Buckeyes. "We felt that it was a good decision for me to go on and forgo my senior year and enroll early at Ohio State, and have the opportunity to have some good money in our pockets as a family."

Ewers made it clear his decision to leave high school early, to go to Ohio State and receive NIL money, was for his family.

"I guess probably the coolest thing for me is just being able to give back to my parents," Ewers said when asked about the initial NIL money he received. "I actually get to pay my mom a salary for helping me with my finances."

Ewers, however, made his own decision to transfer to Texas. And Ewers, who grew up a Longhorn fan, has been in charge of all the decision-making regarding his football future since.

Ewers didn't just want to win at Texas, he wanted to win big at Texas, sources close to Ewers told Horns247.
