Texas QB Arch Manning Ranks 41st in ESPN Power Four Quarterbacks
Arch Manning, the Texas Longhorns quarterback and preseason Heisman favorite, has underperformed in the early 2025 college football season, ranking 41st in ESPN's Power Four quarterback rankings with a Total QBR of 57.2. Despite accumulating 888 passing yards, 132 rushing yards, and 14 total touchdowns through four games, his inconsistency is evident with a slow average release time of 3.1 seconds, a 61.3% completion rate, and a high interception rate, placing him near the bottom nationally in these metrics. Comparatively, true freshmen and even a benched transfer quarterback have surpassed Manning in the rankings, highlighting the unexpected struggles for the heir to the Manning legacy. Scouts and analysts have noted his hesitation and decision-making challenges, with some speculating he may be experiencing the 'yips,' compounded by the pressure of his famous last name. While Texas remains ranked in the top 10 and the season is still early, Manning's performance has been shaky, requiring significant improvement to meet the high expectations placed upon him. His current standing contrasts sharply with other quarterbacks who have started slower but still maintain higher rankings, emphasizing the gap between Manning's potential and present output.
