This season might be the long-awaited break for Arch Manning since his freshman year. The heir of the Manning legacy is yet to display any significant ‘wow’ moments on the college fields. However, with Malik Dunphy, the number 2 QB in line after Ewers, transferring to Duke, the speculations of Manning finally getting a shot at his much-longed starting QB position might become a reality. However, he will still have Ewers as a tough competition as he repudiated his entry in the NFL draft. With Arch Manning on the verge of becoming the next big face of college football, his personal life isn’t too left behind either, as speculations surrounding his potential girlfriend emerge.
