In Austin, Texas, the spotlight remains on Arch Manning, the young quarterback of the Texas Longhorns, as he continues to build his football career with all eyes on him. Coming from the famous Manning family, which includes NFL legends Peyton, Eli, and grandfather Archie Manning, the legacy runs deep. After a highly followed recruiting process, Arch chose Texas, and with the Longhorns joining the SEC this year, he stepped into a competitive environment.
This season, the 19-year-old Manning played a larger role with the Longhorns, often filling in as a starter when Quinn Ewers was sidelined due to injury. Despite being a freshman, Manning has shown promising potential, completing 939 passing yards, 9 touchdowns, and just 2 interceptions in 7 games. He’s also demonstrated his versatility by rushing for 95 yards and scoring 4 touchdowns on the ground.
As for his future, while Manning cannot declare for the NFL Draft until 2025, his grandfather has already expressed hope for where Arch might land. Archie Manning shared a light-hearted notion, stating he would love to see his grandson in a Dallas Cowboys uniform. “If somebody asked me, I’d say Cowboys,” he said with a smile in a recent video. This playful comment adds intrigue to the ongoing discussions about Arch’s potential transition to professional football.
The Cowboys, despite not having advanced to a conference championship game since 1995, are still one of the most recognized teams in the league. They continue to be a hot topic as they seek to reinforce their roster and build a competitive team.
As the season progresses, fans and analysts alike will be keenly following Arch Manning’s development on the field, curious to see how his talent translates into future opportunities and whether the Manning family legacy will continue in the NFL.
