Arch Manning, son of former NFL player Cooper Manning, is set to become the starting quarterback for the Texas Longhorns in 2025. He will face immense pressure and expectations following two years as a backup.
Arch Manning is poised to become the starting quarterback for the Texas Longhorns in 2025, following a two-year stint behind Quinn Ewers , who is projected to be drafted into the NFL. Manning showcased his abilities in limited appearances this past season, but the pressure will significantly intensify as he takes the helm of an offense aiming for national championships.
While he may not reach the legendary status of his brothers, Eli and Peyton, Manning's father, Cooper, anticipates the immense hype and expectations surrounding his son's journey as he leads Steve Sarkisian's offensive strategy. During a recent interview, Cooper expressed his belief that Arch's two years as a backup were instrumental in his development. He acknowledged that his son would inevitably face challenges as a starter, enduring criticism from fans during setbacks. Cooper stated, 'I think having your children struggle with some things is good. Yeah, it's frustrating not to play. Did he love it? No. Was it probably good for him in the long run? Yes.' Cooper continued, explaining, 'You don't want your kiddos to come home and be unhappy, but at the same time, sometimes going through a little hardship and some bumps in the road are good.' Arch is going to have plenty more of those. These are the real ones, when you get beat this year and have bad games. I mean you, know how they do it in the media, they crown you way too early and then they jump on and kill ya. So he’s getting way too much attention and way too much credit and he’s going to struggle, and they’re going to say 'He’s not as good, he’s overrated!' It’s coming, everybody knows it.”Both Cooper and Arch have maintained a grounded perspective throughout Arch's highly publicized college career. The young quarterback has affirmed that he believes he has received 'undeserved attention' due to his family name and hasn't yet 'done anything' to warrant such praise. He will have an opportunity to earn well-deserved recognition as soon as the Texas Longhorns' 2025 season commences, with a challenging matchup against national champions Ohio State on August 30th
