The eye of the 2025 college football season will be on Texas and its young quarterback Arch Manning.
Manning is entering his third season with the Longhorns, but he was never named the long-term starter since Quinn Ewers was in front of him.
Arch Manning Has A Lot To Prove For Texas
Now that Ewers is in the NFL, it’s time for Manning to step up, and his first game as the primary starter will be at Ohio State.
Manning has a lot to prove this season, but he should be one of the best quarterbacks in the sport, and David Kenyon from Bleacher Report thinks Manning will be one of the top college quarterbacks this season.
The hype is immense. Now, will Arch Manning meet it? Kenyon wrote.
Because of the noise around him, it’s easy to overlook the transition on the Texas offense. Gone are its top three targets, along with four starters in the blocking group. Manning isn’t taking over a veteran-led offense.
Simultaneously, there is a ton of talent surrounding him. Ryan Wingo had 472 receiving yards as a true freshman, and DeAndre Moore Jr. caught seven touchdowns. Tight end Jack Endries (Cal) and wideout Emmett Mosley V (Stanford) should be impact transfers with several highly recruited freshmen up next.
Manning, whose mobility will add a new dimension to the Longhorns, has little excuse to not have a great season—even if that spectacular hype is a bit lofty.
