Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers has declared for the 2025 NFL draft, he announced Wednesday.

In 36 games at Texas from 2022-24, he passed for 9,128 yards and 64 touchdowns.

The decision was largely expected after Ewers told ESPN last week that he didn’t plan to return to college football in 2025.

Steven Stamkos scored twice and also had an assist and Filip Forsberg added a goal and an assist as the Nashville Predators jumped out to a four-goal lead and then held on for a milestone 5-3 victory over the visiting Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday night.

Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers is headed to the NFL draft, he announced on social media on Wednesday. “With prayer and careful consideration, I’m declaring for the NFL draft,” Ewers said in his video post.
