Quarterback Quinn Ewers is one of the top prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft for his exceptional arm talent and flashes of excellence. While his consistency may falter amid pressure, Ewers could definitely improve that in the NFL.
Ewers’ was just as much talked about at the 2025 NFL Combine as he was in the final year of his college career. Here’s everything you need to know about the quarterback prospect.
How Tall Is Quinn Ewers?
Ewers measured exactly at 6’2″ in the 2025 NFL Draft combine, which is slightly taller than the average NFL quarterback’s 6’0″ height.
How Much Does Ewers Weigh?
Ewers weighs 214 pounds, falling right in the range of 214 to 217 pounds, making him an enticing pick for the 2025 NFL Draft.
How Old Is Ewers?
Born on March 15, 2003, Ewers is currently 23 years old, a standard age range for a player entering the NFL Draft.
Which School Did Quinn Ewers Go To?
As a Texas native, Ewers attended Carroll Senior High School, where his team advanced to the 6A Division I Texas State Championship Game before losing to Westlake High School.
As the No. 1 overall prospect nationally, Ewers initially committed to Texas and later withdrew that commitment to play for Ohio State football instead.
After just a year of playing with the Buckeyes, Ewers reverted to his original commitment and transferred to Texas for the rest of his college career.
Revisiting Ewers’ College Career
After a year playing for Ohio State, Ewers announced his decision to transfer to Texas in December 2021. He was named the Longhorns’ starter in 2022.
In the following season, Ewers led his team to the Big 12 Championship game, setting the record for the most passing yards in a single conference championship game for the Big 12 Conference. He was also honored with the MVP for the conference title.
Ewers led his team to the College Football Playoff again in 2024, but they lost in the CFP quarterfinals.
How Fast Was Ewers’ 40-Yard Dash?
The quarterback did not participate in the workouts, including the 40-yard dash, at the 2025 NFL Combine.
NFL Outlook and Scouting Report
Although coming off a successful college run with Texas, Ewers is projected to be selected with the No. 92 overall pick by the Seattle Seahawks in the third round of the PSFN’s 2025 NFL Mock Draft.
Since he’s going in the later rounds, chances are Ewers will have to prove himself to earn a starting role. Ewers would be projected to serve as a potential No. 3 quarterback behind both confirmed starter Sam Darnold and veteran backup Drew Lock.
Ewers has a well-documented five-star pedigree, and his elite composite arm talent has drawn the awe of onlookers for years on end. But that ranking has also contributed to lots of residual hype in his draft-eligible phase — and in truth, he has more work to do.
Ewers’ arm elasticity is special, and it allows him to remain a passing threat from virtually any platform. He has more than enough strength to pair with that angle freedom, and while he’s not overly explosive or fast, he is quick enough to be a modest creative presence.
Further, the high-end flashes of execution in which Ewers is able to channel these tools are very impressive. He can layer pace and touch beautifully on vertical and seam throws, and he does flash the ability to recognize opportunities pre-snap and capitalize.
Unfortunately, at this moment in his career, Ewers’ execution is still very inconsistent on a down-to-down basis, and much of it stems from his mechanics.

While he’s fluid and flexible as a thrower, he also has a frustratingly lax, free-styling mechanical nature that can run counter to optimal timing and alignment. While Ewers’ arm elasticity can correct imperfect mechanics to a degree, his accuracy to all thirds can be inconsistent because of his lack of base discipline.
Additionally, as a processor, his progression work and anticipation also require more consistency. Because he’s not an elite athlete or creative threat, Ewers needs to refine his operational game and learn to play with more mechanical control and intent.
