Today’s match is destined to etch its place as one of the craziest games in Texas history. With twists and turns that could rival the best, those watching from home might find themselves regretting the decision not to witness the spectacle in real time. Especially as Texas enjoyed their sweet 12th win. However, there is something more that can make them feel more regretful. Seeing Arch Manning play.

Manning is a unique talent, amassing a significant following even in his freshman year. Although he fell short of securing the starting role during the spring game, his moment arrived on November 24, 2023, during the third quarter of a commanding victory against Texas Tech. Manning showcased his skills by completing 2-of-5 passing attempts for 30 yards—an impressive debut by any standard. With the spotlight on him once more, fans are eagerly anticipating the next chapter in the journey of this star recruit.

Arch Manning back on the ground

With Longhorns’ star QB Quinn Ewers sidelined due to injury, the spotlight shifted to Manning, and he seized the opportunity with flair. The Texas team closed their victory with resounding applause. While Manning may not always step into the limelight, courtesy of Ewers, witnessing the young QB in action remains a delightful experience. As one of the top players, boasting an NIL valuation of an impressive $3.8 million, Manning finally got his moment to shine at the iconic AT&T Stadium.

Arch Manning, the esteemed scion of the Manning family, is poised to make a resounding statement in the conference. However, this season presents a challenge with Texas having appointed Ewers. Now, the onus is on Manning to strategically choose his next move.

Prospects of Manning

The prospect of Ewers opting for a fourth collegiate year looms, and in such a scenario, Manning might find himself spending his sophomore year as a backup at a National Title contender. Alternatively, he has the option to carefully evaluate his choices and potentially transfer to a university where he can truly showcase his talents. The official commencement of the fall transfer segment on Dec. 4 means the quarterback can make a decision as early as next week.

His decision holds a direct correlation with the Longhorns’ ability to secure top recruits for the upcoming season. It’s safe to assume that Manning won’t struggle to attract interest from elite teams, as many are already keeping a keen eye on players of his caliber. With an impressive season record of 2,709 yards, 17 touchdowns, and five interceptions, Manning stands as a valuable asset for any team. Rumors suggest that OSU is expressing interest in recruiting Manning. The ultimate destination for Manning remains uncertain, and only time will unveil the next chapter of his journey.
