The decision was largely expected after Ewers told ESPN last week that he didn’t plan to return to college football in 2025.

Ewers has decided to forego his remaining eligibility to get paid to play college football to get paid by the NFL. His agent, Ron Slavin, told Pete Thamel of ESPN.com that Ewers will enter the draft. Today is the deadline for all players (except those from Notre Dame and Ohio State) to declare their NFL intentions.
