Despite an impressive start to the season, Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers is allegedly grappling with turmoil in his personal life. Leaked Instagram messages allegedly show Ewers persistently requesting explicit photos from a woman named Audrey, and the scandal may be straining his relationship with girlfriend Mady Barnes. Amidst it all, there’s also buzz about whether the Arch Manning camp could have had a hand in these messages surfacing—though this is purely speculative.
Who is Quinn Ewers’ GF, Mady Barnes?

Mady Barnes, a marketing student at the University of Oklahoma and member of the Chi Omega sorority, has been dating Ewers since early 2023. While the Texas-Oklahoma rivalry could put strain on any relationship, Mady has been a supportive presence throughout Quinn’s standout season. Mady recently started working as a Social Media Coordinator with Feel Ideal 360, a role that complements her marketing studies. But now, with the recent revelations, sources suggest that she’s questioning whether this relationship aligns with her own career and personal goals.

The controversy began when a series of Instagram messages allegedly from Ewers to Audrey was shared by X user @B1ackShcfter. In the screenshots, Ewers sent over ten consecutive messages pleading for nudes, with lines like:
- “Just one pls. Just a pic, not even a vid.”
- “Bc I want to see your p***y.”
- “Audrey, just one.”
- “Why, tho? Why can’t you send one?”
- Ending in frustration with “Fine whatever,” followed by “booty.”
Eventually, Audrey sent a photo, but Ewers allegedly pushed further, asking her to “take it off.” This leak has left Mady—who has so far kept her feelings private—in a complicated position.
Ewers’ Focus on the Field—But for How Long?
Despite the off-field drama, Ewers shone in his recent game against the Florida Gators, leading the Longhorns to a 49-17 victory. In that game, he completed 19 of 27 passes, totaling 333 yards and throwing five touchdowns. Ewers’ performance brought Texas to a solid 6-1 record, further establishing his comeback after an injury had sidelined him earlier in the season. Top sportbooks now rank Texas as third-favorites to win the National Championship.
However, with the scandal swirling, fans are wondering how this personal setback might impact his on-field focus as he heads into more crucial games.
Could the Arch Manning Camp Be Involved?
The leaks have naturally led to theories and speculation, with some wondering if the timing of this release could somehow be linked to those in the Arch Manning camp. Given the high-stakes nature of Texas’ quarterback job, it wouldn’t be unheard of for subtle maneuvering to occur behind the scenes. Manning, a high-profile recruit with a legendary family pedigree, is competing with Ewers for the starting spot, and anything that could shake Ewers’ confidence might potentially tip the balance.
Tut the timing of this leak—right after Ewers’ standout return game—has people talking. Did someone with an interest in Manning’s ascent benefit from these private messages surfacing?
What’s Next for Mady and Quinn?
Insiders suggest that Mady is seriously rethinking her relationship with Quinn in light of these allegations. The young marketing student has plenty of ambitions of her own, and being caught in a scandal of this nature might be a red flag for her.
With the Longhorns aiming for a successful season, Ewers’ ability to navigate this storm could be critical for both his career and his relationship. Whether Mady ultimately decides to stick with Quinn or distance herself, this scandal is sure to be a test of his resilience both on and off the field.
