Longhorns QB Arch Manning Enters Transfer Portal
In a stunning development, Arch Manning, the highly-touted freshman quarterback for the University of Texas, has officially entered the transfer portal. The move has sent shockwaves through college football, as Manning, the nephew of NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning, was considered one of the most coveted recruits in recent memory.
Manning, who enrolled at Texas in January 2024, had been expected to compete for the starting job this season after sitting behind veteran quarterback Quinn Ewers. Despite high expectations, the 6-foot-4, 220-pound signal caller struggled to crack the lineup and found himself buried on the depth chart.
Sources close to the program indicated that Manning had been seeking more playing time and had grown frustrated with his limited opportunities. Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian, who recruited Manning, expressed his support for the quarterback’s decision, saying, “We respect Arch’s decision and wish him nothing but the best moving forward. We understand the importance of finding the right fit for every player.”
Manning’s transfer could shake up the quarterback landscape, with several top programs likely to pursue him. The freshman’s decision to leave Texas comes after the team’s impressive start to the season, leaving many wondering what the future holds for both Manning and the Longhorns.
As of now, it remains unclear where Manning will land, but his next move will certainly be watched closely by fans and analysts alike.
