ESPN's Finebaum Compares Arch Manning to Tim Tebow

News summary

Arch Manning, the Texas Longhorns quarterback, is entering his first full-time starting season with high expectations, including praise from ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum who compared him to Tim Tebow, calling Manning the best college quarterback since Tebow's emergence in 2006. Finebaum also suggested that if Manning had played in last season's College Football Playoff semifinal against Ohio State, Texas might have won the national championship. Manning has shown promise with 939 passing yards and nine touchdowns in limited action last season and is widely regarded as a potential Heisman Trophy candidate and a top NFL draft prospect for 2026. Former NFL quarterback turned analyst Chase Daniel noted Finebaum's strong endorsement and highlighted Manning's preparation by studying top NFL quarterbacks. Texas is ranked No. 1 in ESPN’s preseason power rankings and is expected to compete for both the SEC and national championships. Meanwhile, unrelated to Manning's story, LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier was ranked the top SEC quarterback in the upcoming College Football 26 video game, showcasing the competitive talent in college football this season.
