The Texas Longhorns have officially passed the starting quarterback baton from Quinn Ewers to Arch Manning. The nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning will look to build on Ewers' tremendous career and lead Texas to its first title since Vince Young was behind center.

With Quinn Ewers eyeing an NFL career, it’s Manning’s time to stand out at Texas. And his former teammates believe he is ready for it.

The buzz around Texas quarterback Arch Manning has only grown louder as the NFL Combine gets underway. While teams prepare for the 2025 NFL Draft, some already have their eyes on the 2026 class- one that could be headlined by Manning.

Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian spoke to the media for the first time since their Jan. 11 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes in the College Football Playoff Semifinal in the Cotton Bowl. He praised quarterback Arch Manning’s leadership and highlighted his readiness to shine as the starting quarterback for the 2025 season after two years as Quinn Ewers’ backup.

It's not always about the money. That's what University of Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian said about Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning, who will be the clear-cut starter entering the 2025 season. Sarkisian understands the cash flow opportunities the team's rising star is receiving but maintains that isn't Manning’s top priority.
