Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian has not talked to Ewers yet about his future but also made a point that players should focus on the present while in the playoffs, saying-:
“I just tell them all, focus on what we’re doing right now And I do that with some of them, because the guys, they want to know. They’re hearing from agents and all that stuff. The best thing they can do for their future, whether they decide to stay or leave, is to play really good in the College Football Playoff because those will be the games that will get evaluated by the NFL anyway”
ViaFans are now awaiting the announcement from Quinn Ewers as he decides on his future and whether he will go with the mega-offer to transfer or declare for the NFL Draft.
