Report: Arch Manning Makes shocking Transfer Decision Amid Quinn Ewers Rumors
The Texas Longhorns are gearing up for their first-round playoff clash against the Clemson Tigers on December 21, a crucial matchup following their SEC Championship loss to Georgia. Amid preparations, rumors have swirled regarding the future of quarterback Quinn Ewers, suggesting he might either return for another season or transfer, potentially clearing the path for highly touted prospect Arch Manning to take over.
These rumors, fueled by the social media account NFL Rookie Watch, lacked credible reporting but sparked significant speculation. However, Texas insider Anwar Richardson sought to dispel these concerns. Richardson confirmed Friday that Ewers still plans to declare for the 2025 NFL Draft, ensuring Manning will likely assume the starting role next season. “Sources say Quinn Ewers still plans to declare for the NFL Draft after this season, paving the way for Arch Manning to take over in 2025. Manning is locked in with Texas and coach Steve Sarkisian, with no plans to transfer. Right now, both are dialed in on Clemson,” Richardson reported.
Ewers has experienced an inconsistent season, once considered a potential first-round pick but now seeing his draft stock diminish. ESPN’s Field Yates notably excluded Ewers from the first round in his latest mock draft. Still, the College Football Playoff presents an opportunity for Ewers to bolster his draft stock with a strong showing.
The Longhorns’ playoff journey begins at 4:00 p.m. ET on December 21 against Clemson, with high stakes for both the team and its quarterback.
