Arch Manning

Arch Manning emerged as one of Texas' most dynamic quarterbacks after taking over the starting job in 2025, combining a strong passing arm with unusual mobility for the position. He led the Longhorns to 10 wins in his first full season as starter, capped by a four-touchdown performance and Citrus Bowl MVP honors against Michigan. Manning entered 2026 with his Texas legacy still being written and added another signature moment by leading a 20-point fourth-quarter comeback against No. 1 Ohio State.
