Arch Manning has only started two total games for the Texas Longhorns, but the next great quarterback in the Manning family is already generating the type of attention the likes of Tim Tebow and Johnny Manziel received in the SEC.

Various way-too-early 2026 NFL mock drafts have included Texas quarterback Arch Manning in the first round, which means the first-year starter for the Longhorns would have to leave school a year early for that to come to fruition.

Manning's revelation is largely unsurprising to those who have closely followed Arch’s recruitment and college career.
