Just in: Quinn Ewers, the star quarterback for the Texas Longhorns, has been disqualified from the 2024 NFL Potential Awards due to a violation of league guidelines. The prestigious award, given annually to the most promising college football player projected for the upcoming NFL draft, has excluded Ewers after an unexpected turn of events.
Sources indicate that Ewers’ disqualification stems from off-field conduct that raised concerns among NFL scouts and award committees. While the specifics of the incident have not been fully disclosed, reports suggest that Ewers was involved in a violation of NCAA rules regarding personal behavior and sportsmanship, which directly impacted his eligibility for the award.
In addition to this, there were rumors about academic eligibility concerns, which have contributed to the disqualification. Ewers, who has impressed with his exceptional arm strength and leadership on the field, now faces scrutiny both from the NFL and the NCAA. Despite his impressive season performance, these off-field issues appear to overshadow his on-field achievements in the eyes of those responsible for selecting candidates for the 2025 NFL Potential Award.
This setback comes as a surprise to many, as Ewers had been one of the leading contenders for the honor, with a highly anticipated future in the NFL. His disqualification highlights the importance of maintaining discipline both on and off the field. While this disqualification may affect his immediate recognition, Ewers remains a highly regarded prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft, with teams likely to evaluate him closely as they prepare for the draft.
Ewers’ team and supporters are expected to address the issue in the coming days as the quarterback aims to regain focus and continue his path toward a successful NFL career.
