Quinn Ewers is one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the Texas Longhorns program, and his coach is coming to his defense.

Quinn Ewers' decision to forgo his final season of college football and enter the 2025 NFL Draft drew some skepticism from those who felt he should have entered the NCAA Transfer Portal. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian had some pointed remarks for those very critics during an appearance on "Josh Pate's College Football Show."

NFL Draft, Quinn Ewers had to wait a long time to hear his name called. Starting on Thursday night, Ewers had to wait until late Saturday evening when the call came through that the Miami Dolphins had selected him in the seventh round.
