Quinn Ewers Drafted by Dolphins; Ohio State QB Battle

Quinn Ewers, once a top-rated Texas quarterback recruit, was selected by the Miami Dolphins in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, a surprising slide that left Ewers both surprised and grateful. Although Ewers had another year of college eligibility and significant NIL earning potential, he chose to pursue the NFL, a decision that remains debated among analysts. Miami's coaching staff, led by Mike McDaniel, cited Ewers' experience in a comparable offensive system at Texas and praised his leadership and resilience. With starter Tua Tagovailoa's injury history, Ewers could have an opportunity for playing time in Miami. Meanwhile, Will Howard's departure from Ohio State has led to a quarterback competition between Julian Sayin and Lincoln Kienholz, with summer workouts set to determine the starter. Ewers' path highlights the unpredictability of the NFL Draft and the evolving nature of college football careers.
