Arch Manning Named Texas Starting Quarterback for 2025

Arch Manning is stepping into the role of starting quarterback for the Texas Longhorns in the 2025 season after two seasons of waiting behind Quinn Ewers. Manning, who expressed that the process was challenging but ultimately rewarding, is eager to lead the team, stating, "There's nowhere else I want to be. I want to be at Texas." He has shown promise in limited action last season, throwing for 939 yards and nine touchdowns while also demonstrating his dual-threat capabilities. Coach Steve Sarkisian has noted Manning's competitive nature and leadership skills, which are vital as the Longhorns aim for a successful season. The team will open the year against Ohio State, providing an early test for Manning. With expectations high, Manning's readiness and confidence will be crucial for Texas as they pursue a national title after years of waiting.
