Manning said it was worth the wait to be the starting quarterback at Texas.
On Thursday during an interview after spring practice, the redshirt sophomore quarterback discussed sitting on the bench behind Quinn Ewers for two seasons. When asked why he didn't transfer, Manning had a simple answer.
Arch Manning talked about waiting his turn and what it's like dealing with the attention that comes with being him."There was nowhere else I want to be ... I want to be the quarterback a the University of Texas."Manning has seen action during his time at Texas and played significant snaps in three games during the 2024 season, including two starts. Last year, he completed 61 of 90 passes for 939 yards with nine touchdowns and two interceptions. He also ran for 108 yards and four scores. He'll be the team's starter heading into the 2025 season and is also expected to be an early pick in the 2026 NFL draft. A former top recruit from the most famous football family on the planet, Manning may not be at Texas much longer.Ryan Phillips is a senior writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
