Former Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers recently released a heartfelt and emotional farewell message, officially marking the end of his chapter with the University of Texas. In a message that resonated deeply with fans, Ewers expressed profound gratitude for the support he received during his time in Austin — from his coaches, teammates, and most importantly, the Longhorn faithful.
Ewers, a former five-star recruit and one of the most highly touted quarterbacks in recent memory, transferred to Texas from Ohio State and quickly became the face of the Longhorns’ offense. In his farewell, he acknowledged the challenges and growth he experienced during his time at Texas, noting that the journey was as important as the destination. He thanked head coach Steve Sarkisian and the rest of the coaching staff for believing in him, helping him develop both as a player and as a person.
He also reflected on the powerful bond he shared with his teammates. Ewers credited them for pushing him every day, both on the field and off, and emphasized that the memories they created together would last a lifetime. He mentioned specific moments — game-winning drives, locker room celebrations, and early morning practices — that defined his college career and helped shape who he is today.
But it was his message to the Texas fans that carried the most emotional weight. Ewers described the overwhelming support from Longhorn Nation as “unmatched,” highlighting the energy of packed stadiums, chants of “Texas Fight,” and the unwavering belief the fans had in him, even during difficult moments. He said representing Texas was a dream come true and that wearing the burnt orange jersey was a privilege he never took for granted.
Though Ewers didn’t specify his next steps in the message, speculation is high that he’s preparing for the NFL Draft. Regardless of what lies ahead, his farewell signals the end of a pivotal era for Texas football — one that saw the program rise to national prominence once again.
As Ewers turns the page, Longhorn fans will undoubtedly remember him as a quarterback who gave his heart to Texas and helped bring pride back to the Forty Acres. His message was a reminder of the passion, commitment, and love that define college football — and his legacy in Austin is sure
to endure.
