Ewers, a three-year starter, declared for the NFL draft via social media Wednesday. He leaves with 27 wins, the fourth most by a Longhorn QB.

Quinn Ewers was that guy. He was the No. 1 recruit, the first perfectly graded quarterback in the 247Sports Composite since Vince Young. His initial decommitment from Texas in 2020 as a high school recruit portended the end of the Tom Herman era.

After three years as a starter and two deep Playoff runs, Ewers has accomplished what he set out to do in Austin.
