I might throw a little tantrum if there is not. I've waited 3 games for it, okay!? So has anything actually been released about the possibility or is anyone almost certain there will or won't be one?
I haven't been keeping up with any of the updates for the game in fear that it will give away too much for me.

We've already had a female Quarian LI: Tali. If you mean just male, then it is possible but so far there is nothing to support it since it isn't even confirmed the Quarians will be in this game. The only hope so far is Bioware saying they have a plan that allows all the Milky Way races we know to be in Andromeda even though they may not show up in the first game.

I doubt Reyes is a quarian simply because of his name. It's a common spanish name as Reyes has a spanish accent. Not to mention it would have to be his first name, since quarian last names are Vas/Nar the ship they're from. On that note, if they do include quarians, it will be interesting to see how their naming conventions change since they don't have to be nomads anymore (and to avoid everyone being Blank Vas'Nexus). Place names, perhaps?

As others have said, at this point we have no way of knowing if Quarians will even be in the game. In a recent interview one of the devs was actually asked about them, and the answer was, paraphrased, 'we're not ready to talk about what races are in it yet.' So I'm putting the odds at 50/50. Though I personally think it would be a really weird move on their part to leave out a species whose story was such a big part of the trilogy, and are loved by so many fans. And I can't see any good reason not to include them. Their presence makes as much sense as the Krogan's, if not more, in my opinion.
The only hints that there might be, as Abramsrunner mentioned, is an accented voice belonging to a male character named Reyes that could be a Quarian. (Or a human with a sorta Spanish-y accent. Or another alien altogether.) Also, an extremely tiny figure in one of the screenshots of the Nexus interior that might be a male Quarian, but it's hard to tell.
As they are my favorite species, I would love for them to appear, and am holding out hope. But I'm also prepared to be disappointed, frankly. And as for a male Quarian LI? I would love one! I thought the Quarians of both genders we met in the trilogy made for some of the most memorable side characters in the game and think the opportunity to romance one would be awesome. Though I'd like the sex aspect of it to be handled better than what we saw with the Tali-mance. It just came across as way fan-servicy with how it pushed aside the lore. (It would take 60 years for the Quarians to adapt to their own nearly-sterile homeworld but it only took a few pills and a two times for Tali to become immune to sexing Shepard, an incompatible species? When a tiny suit rupture will make her sick? Please.)

Nope, nobody knows if we'll have quarians. Personally, I hope that any quarians that might've joined up with the Andromeda Initiative were all replaced by Geth hoppers (which will be our explanation for what happened to those bozos after ME 1).

Chances of there being Quarians in Andromeda? 50%
Chances of there being a Quarian love interest? 50% of the previous 50%
Chances of that love interest being male? 50% of the previous 50%
All in all there is a 1/8 chance that there is a quarian male love interest in the game.

Given the timeline, I'll be surprised if there are any quarians in Andromeda at all, much less a love interest.

They're not a hivemind, so there will be some who don't particularly care for a life with the Fleet and would prefer to go to Andromeda for a plethora of possible reasons. Alternatively, considering how desperate some quarians are for a new home (traveling through the Omega-4 relay), it would also make perfect sense for some to want to go for the same reason they'd stay with the Flotilla: Finding a new homeworld for their species, this time far from the (misunderstood) threat of the geth.

A Quarian that detests life with the Flotilla and/or never returned from their Pilgrimage could make for interesting conversation. Isn't that what BioWare want with the new characters? To provide another point of view to what we already know.

A small group of Quarians that left the flotilla would make sense... but they'd be pretty sad Quarians too, given that their small group size would mean a way too small genetic pool to start a viable population. They'd be the first and last of their race in the Andromeda galaxy.

They went out of their way to present the 'fleet mentality' of the quarians, so having a large number completely abandoning the migrant fleet would feel off. A very small number of individual rebellious quarians signing up would be much better in my eyes.

A male one is more likely than a female one, in my opinion, because we had a prominent female Quarian who was also an LI in the previous three games. A Quarian squadmate is incredibly unlikely at the moment, but an engineer on our ship would make perfect sense.
We don't know if they are going to be in Andromeda, and as other people have said: it's looks pretty 50/50 at the moment. But since they are well liked by a lot of people and wouldn't require facial rigging and animation like the other species it would be odd not to include them.
As for the amount I can't see more than a few hundred signing up, barely enough for a viable population. Then again, this is a setting where cloning and genetic modification technology exist.

It would make sense to have quarians along for the trip, considering they are experts at maintaining/repairing ships with whatever they can get their hands on. Seems like that would be a good skill set to have on a trip to a new galaxy, since you never know what would go wrong. The quarians are still looking for someplace to settle as of when the arks leave, so maybe they're hoping by helping they'll be securing a future for themselves in Andromeda? Obviously though they don't have an ark of their own, so I'm not sure how many could actually be along for the ride.
I'd love to see a male quarian LI, but I don't know if we will get that lucky.

This would be interesting place to explore, Tali did mention quarians who never returned from their pilgrimage. And gene pool might not be as big a problem with science present in Mass Effect, I just thought of the couple (widow and her dead husband's brother) arguing about whether or not sent the kid to gene therapy to prevent genetically carried heart disease that killed her husband, if that was applicable to amount of problems that come from inbreeding... ...I might also be completely misunderstanding genetics, there is high possibility of that in fact

I would love a male Quarian, even better if he is a LI. I've been waiting for one by time I first played ME2. But we still haven't a confirmation of the Quarian presence. I hope this is because the Quarian are an important plot point or have a big redesign that want to keep secret for now...

There's this incredibly optimistic part of me that remembers the speculation that there won't be any Turians in Andromeda, because the first trailers didn't show any Turians. I could see Quarians being kinda rare, but, have yet to see any valid argument for why they wouldn't be in the game at all. If they aren't and the writers come up with a believable reason, well - I'll be disappointed (as will many fans, judging by the results of the 'favorite ME species' poll) but whatever, I'll move on. The incredibly optimistic part of me is thinking that they're going to reveal that Quarians are in the game by revealing that really important character that 'just so happens' to be Quarian. They're just not ready to show him(?) yet. Kill two birds: reveal character, get the fans excited. As a marketing strategy it makes sense. But yeah, Quarians with their tech wizardry and experience in maintaining self-sustaining live ships would make sense as an asset to the Initiative. And since Tali does mention Quarians who don't return from their Pilgrimage, there are already-in-game non-lore-bending ways to get them to want to go. Also, it presents a great story-telling opportunity: who are these Quarians who reject Flotilla life? Who are maybe a little selfish, or a little fed up, or a little rebellious? I, as a player, would love the opportunity to meet one and find out! Also, because I'm a huge nerd and did the math - even if 10,000 Quarians left the Flotilla, that's only 0.00059 percent of the entire population. They could make up those numbers, easily, in a single generation just by lifting the 'one kid only' ban. Just putting that out there And I'm no geneticist, but that seems to be a decent number for starting a viable population, especially in a reality where gene therapy is a thing.

Minimal viable population is slightly over 4K on planet Earth, so it is conceivable to have a splinter sect of Quarians who want to move away from one Flotila to another, maybe even have a Captain of one of their ships taking his/her ship-clan with him or her or something. Was not there an episode in Star treck about a group wanting to break up a generational ship somewhat similar to the Migrant Fleet? LI or not, I do want to have Quarians in ME:A.

And, that's assuming that there will be a group of quarians who come with in order to settle in Andromeda. We could also have just a few, those who didn't come to settle and repopulate. Just those who wanted adventure and/or disagreed with the fleet and came anyway. There's a way to include the species without having to worry about population biology! They'd only need 2-3 major NPCs or squad mates in order to make it worth the resources.

There's definitely going to be quarians in Andromeda. I remember hearing Mac say that the team had created stories for all Milky Way species to make potential comebacks in the new galaxy. The question is whether we will see them in this game, and I'm willing to bet we will. I bet them far more likely to be in than any other race outside the Council races and the krogan.
