Quinn Ewers had to wait until the 231st overall pick in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, but he’s now with the Miami Dolphins. His girlfriend Madelyn “Mady” Barnes shared the sweet moment with her man, and had a touching message and photo with him after.

Ewers turned down millions of dollars in the college football transfer portal as Arch Manning is set to take over for the Texas Longhorns, and instead opted for the draft. For a while, it looked like he might not get selected at all.

The quarterback was quite the weapon for Steve Sarkisian and Texas, throwing for 3472 yards, 31 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions while leading the Longhorns to the College Football Playoff semifinals.

During the draft, Ewers went viral for the insane room he was in covered in big-game hunting trophies. But he finally got his moment and his girlfriend since 2023 was there to share his it with him. She said, “So incredibly proud and overjoyed!! Quinn, you are so deserving of this and a whole lot more! You're the most driven, dedicated, and genuine man both on and off the field. I'm so excited for this journey and to watch you live out your dreams GO DOLPHINS!! 🐬🧡” She added,
“Miami ain't ready 👏🏻😎💃🏻” and posted the below picture.

Barnes has documented their relationship since they went IG official, and while she’s from Texas, she goes to school at rival Oklahoma. That’s true love they could overcome that!
