Quinn Ewers, the Texas Longhorns’ starting quarterback, has addressed the prospect of Arch Manning succeeding him as the team’s leader. Ewers acknowledged Manning’s growth and maturation over the past two years, stating, “Yeah, I think over the past two years, he’s definitely grown and matured for sure to be able to be successful at Texas.”
Manning, a redshirt freshman from New Orleans and nephew of NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning, has demonstrated his readiness for a starting role. He has contributed significantly in various game situations, including scoring a touchdown in Texas’ victory over Texas A&M on November 30.
Ewers’ candid acknowledgment of Manning’s development reflects a supportive and team-oriented perspective. This approach underscores the collaborative environment within the Texas quarterback room, where both players are focused on the team’s success.
As the Longhorns prepare for the upcoming Peach Bowl against the Arizona State Sun Devils on January 1, Ewers’ leadership and Manning’s preparedness will be crucial. Their combined efforts exemplify the depth and strength of the Texas quarterback position.
