Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers has sparked a frenzy of speculation after reports surfaced that he made a secret visit to USC following Texas’ College Football Playoff exit. The news has sent shockwaves through the Longhorns fanbase, as Ewers had been expected to return and lead the team for another national title run. However, sources close to the situation suggest that USC boosters have put together a massive $9.5 million NIL package to lure Ewers away.
Insiders claim that Ewers was spotted in Los Angeles just days after Texas’ disappointing loss, with some reports indicating he met privately with USC head coach Lincoln Riley. The timing of the visit has raised eyebrows, especially since USC is actively looking for a star quarterback following Caleb Williams’ departure for the NFL. With Riley’s track record of developing Heisman Trophy winners, the possibility of Ewers making the switch seems increasingly plausible.
Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian and Longhorns boosters are reportedly scrambling to counter the offer, with sources suggesting they are prepared to increase Ewers’ NIL earnings to keep him in Austin. However, the allure of Los Angeles, a stacked USC offense, and the promise of an even bigger spotlight could prove too tempting for Ewers to ignore.
As rumors continue to swirl, Longhorns fans are growing increasingly anxious, with many taking to social media to express their frustration over the potential loss of their star quarterback. If Ewers does make the move, it would be one of the biggest transfer portal bombshells in recent college football history. For now, the situation remains fluid, but the idea of Ewers in a USC jersey is suddenly feeling more real than ever.
