Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers reportedly has a massive offer to remain in the college ranks and enter the transfer portal rather than turn pro.
Ewers has a $6 million offer to do just that, On3 Sports reported Tuesday, citing sources. The offer report comes a few days before Texas faces Arizona State in the quarterfinals of the College Football Playoff.

It is not clear where the offer came from.
It’s still unclear what Ewers plans to do once Texas’ season ends: national championship or not. Signs have indicated that Ewers would turn pro, as he is expected to be one of the top quarterbacks in the 2025 draft class with Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward.
Most of the questions about Texas quarterbacks entering the transfer portal have been directed at redshirt freshman Arch Manning. He shot down rumors of that happening on Monday.

“I mean, I don’t really have plans to enter the portal or anything like that,” the redshirt freshman said, via Rivals. “So I don’t really know anything about that, all the windows and everything.”
Notre Dame was examined in a Sports Illustrated publication as a possible landing spot for Ewers, as the team will see Riley Leonard leave after this season. However, Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman said the team had no plans to go to the transfer portal for a quarterback.
Ewers committed to Texas in 2020 but was released to join Ohio State. He only played two snaps with the Buckeyes in 2021 before transferring to Texas for the 2022 season.

This season, Texas is competing for a national title. Ewers, despite some injuries, has 2,867 passing yards and 26 touchdown passes this season.
