Arch Manning to Start for No. 1 Texas

Arch Manning, highly touted as the top prospect in the Class of 2023, will make his first career start for the No. 1 ranked Texas Longhorns against Louisiana-Monroe, as announced by head coach Steve Sarkisian. Manning steps in for Quinn Ewers, who is recovering from an abdominal injury sustained in last week's game against UTSA, where Manning impressed by throwing for 223 yards and four touchdowns, and adding a 67-yard touchdown run. Sarkisian emphasized that resting Ewers is a strategic move as Texas prepares for upcoming SEC play. Manning, the nephew of legendary quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning, has been preparing rigorously and will have Ewers' support during the game. This start marks a significant opportunity for Manning to continue his family's storied football legacy.
