In this economy?
On3 reported that Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers, a redshirt junior who’s led the program from under center since 2022, received a $6 million offer from a program attempting to lure him to transfer. To be clear, it’s widely anticipated that Ewers declares for the 2025 NFL Draft once Texas’ College Football Playoff run concludes later this month, and once he does, (we think) it’s expected that Arch Manning will take his place next season.

But where would Ewers transfer?
To be even clearer… we have no damn clue. This is tampering, of course.
Oregon, perhaps? Maybe Miami? Or, even wilder, Texas A&M’s long-con plan to get back at Texas athletics for stealing Jim Schlossnagle from the Aggies’ baseball program last year?

But would Ewers actually bite at such an offer?

Still, $6 million to hang out in college for a couple more semesters is tough to beat.
