Texans’ Quinn Evers makes decision on 2025 NFL draft after transfer speculation

After possible speculation, Texas football quarterback Quinn Evers is officially declaring for 2025 NFL draftaccording to a post on his personal X account. The news follows an interesting moment in his season. During the College Football Playoff, Evers was offered $6 million in NIL to transfer from Texas football.

The university has never been identified, but it would make sense for him to possibly transfer if he hasn’t declared for the NFL draft. Backup freshman quarterback Arch Manning patiently waited his turn to start. When Evers went down with injuries, Manning stepped up and led the Longhorns to two wins in his two starts.

After a shaky return, Evers looked like his old self in the CFP. He dominated against Clemson and helped them advance to the Peach Bowl. However, the Texas signal-caller showed some uncertainty against Arizona State. He made some pretty solid decisions that almost cost them the game.

Even so, the experience came in handy during the fourth quarter and overtime. Evers’ heroics helped Texas secure a double-overtime victory and advance to the Cotton Bowl. In that game, he put the team on his back. Against a stout defense, he threw for 283 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. His performances showed that he did everything he could for Texas football.

Texas football player Quinn Evers will be highly regarded in the NFL draft

After making his announcement, Evers is the No. 3 quarterback on the board. He is currently behind Miami (FL)’s Cam Ward and Colorado’s Shadeur Sanders. Career numbers though 9,128 yards, 68 touchdowns and 24 interceptions are quite impressive.

However, his announcement is not a surprise. funny enough Evers said he will not play in college just a few days before. This is confirmation that he wants to take his game to the next level. The 6’3 quarterback has plenty of upside. He is one of the more accurate pitchers in the draft.

However, a 12-interception season to close out his collegiate career is not appealing. However, that mechanic can be worked on at the next level. Plus, the NFL Draft Combine hasn’t happened yet. In just a few months, he could surprise many and even increase his ranking on quarterback draft boards.

Now, Evers will look ahead to the NFL Draft in 2025. He has left a lasting legacy in Austin. Two CFP appearances have rejuvenated the fan base and encouraged them, even in a new-look SEC conference. Now he will look to build his legacy in the NFL, as he did for the Texas football program.
