Ewers turned down an $8 million NIL offer to transfer to another school for his final year of eligibility, according to a report from 247 Sports’ Chip

Ewers became one of just four quarterbacks to lead the Longhorns to a Big 12 Championship alongside Young, McCoy, and James Brown. By getting the Horns to an SEC Championship in their first year in the conference, Ewers became the first-ever Texas quarterback to lead his team to back-to-back conference title games.

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