Arch Mannings is still in his blooming stage. Although we saw some glimpses of his potential during Quin Ewers’s temporary absence in the Longhorns, that wasn’t a clear picture. He is still waiting in the wings to take full command of the Longhorns offense in the upcoming years. His contribution (70.5% of his passes for 900 yards with nine touchdowns) somewhat helped Texas to earn the top-five seed in the College Football Playoff and become runner-up in the Southeastern Conference in their first season. Still, we can’t help but think about his bright future down the road. The University of North Carolina fans, on the other hand, foresee a more specific move for Steve Sarkisian’s flex player.
He currently has 61 completions for 939 passing yards and nine passing touchdowns this season, along with 21 carries for 100 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. It’s clear that Manning has left his mark in the CFB from behind the line, but the way his skill flourished in a time of dire need, he’s highly likely to start next season. That won’t be a surprise element. It would be inevitable.
The blueblood is meant to take the spotlight all along. It’s just a matter of time till the team reaches that level of maturity. But despite not getting his prize, Manning finds his footing in Austin. ‘Just realizing there’s nowhere else I want to be, and it was my dream to play at Texas, I’m going to stick it out and play there, eventually.” The NFL rumors still can go backward, but what about the latest UNC recruit and fans’ fantasy booking? To make it simple, UNC pulled coach legendary NFL coach Bill Belichick for their banger 2025 season, and fans can’t unsee Arch Manning honing his skill beside the greatest of all time.

It’s unbelievable that no NFL team has reached out to have Bill Belichick, even as a defensive coordinator. One of the reasons might be Belichick’s traditional practices of being in full control of all decisions made him a bit underrated in the modern periphery. But his talent and legacy are beyond any doubt. The coach phenom fired back at the NFL world by not waiting around for an offer to come. He made headlines by accepting offers from the college football giant. It can be a trailblazer turning point for UNC and for the Texas QB as well. In the response to who can be the potential first signee under Belichick, one fan wrote, ‘‘Arch Manning per my source.”
Backing up his answer, the user noted Manning actually predicted the top-tier hire for UNC when nobody could see it coming. So, ideally, he has some plan. And since Belichick has become a regular on the ManningCast this season, some can smell something fishy. “What if Belichick becoming a regular on the Manning cast was just a plan to get Arch to transfer to UNC?” the fantasy plot explained.
“Great, our NIL money went from $4 million to $20 million, just like that. The transfer portal might get some big names that want to play for Bill. I know it’s a reach, but I would love for Bill to go after Arch Manning.” another user wrote in utter delight.

Manning has dismissed the Dallas Cowboys rumor, but people are still confident that he will jump to UNC. ”Tar Heels will make the 2026 football playoff with Bill Belichick and transfer QB Arch Manning 🏈,” another social media user put out his thoughts on the open forum.
If you try to find logic, you might fail to understand the momentum. If you tap into the emotion, it can make some sense, if at all.
