AUSTIN, Texas — A Texas exodus for the NFL has begun. Three key Longhorns underclassmen, offensive lineman Kelvin Banks Jr., wide receiver Matthew Golden, and running back Jaydon Blue, have declared for the NFL draft after the Longhorns lost to Ohio State in a College Football Playoff semifinal. As for Ewers, the three-year starter is expected to turn pro after leading the Longhorns to consecutive playoff appearances, the Big 12 title in 2023 and the Southeastern Conference championship game in the program’s first season in the SEC. Ewers has mostly avoided questions about his future, but in an ESPN interview before Texas’ loss to Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl, Ewers said he expects to be in the NFL next season. The son of Cooper Manning, the grandson of former NFL quarterback Archie Manning and the nephew of Super Bowl-winning QBs Peyton and Eli Manning, was 2-0 as a starter this season filling in for Ewers.
