Arch Manning: “I don’t think I have yet done enough to take a lot of photos in restaurants and sign autographs”

Arch Manning does not have the impression of having done enough as an university quarter to be one of the most recognizable players in sport.

In an interview with ESPN published Thursday, Manning approached a myriad of subjects before his first season as a quarter-arre from Texas. The old five -star recruit was the safeguard of Quinn Ewers during the 2024 season and should be Texas N ° 1 QB in 2025 with EWERS at the NFL.

When asked what comes with his famous family name, the nephew of the winners of the Super Bowl Peyton and Eli Manning and Grandson of Archie Manning did not hesitate to talk about the attention he attracts To be a Manning.

“I think a lot of undeserved attention,” said Manning. “But I hope it deserves more in the coming months.

“I don’t think I have done enough yet to take a lot of photos in restaurants and sign autographs. But maybe it will come.

Manning signed with Longhorns and head coach Steve Sarkisian before the 2023 season as the best recruit from the Lycée du Pays. He came to Austin with Ewers rooted as a starter after his first season in Austin after a transfer of Ohio State.

Manning has opened this season as QB N ° 3 of Longhorns, but was the main backup when Ewers was sidelined due to a shoulder injury and the university football playoffs, when the number 2 QB Maalik Murphy was transferred.

After a few tones where in 2023 Manning saw his first playing time in 2024 when Ewers suffered a tense oblique in September. Manning took over for Ewers against UTSA after Ewers was injured and started against Louisiana-Monroe and the state of Mississippi before Ewers returned to the annual match of the rivalry against Oklahoma.

Manning scored five affected in this UTSA match, but had only eight others in the other nine games in which he appeared throughout the 2024 season. He finished 63 out of 95 for 969 yards and Nine affected pass with two interceptions.

Now he will get a complete off -season as a presumptive starter with Ewers at the NFL. And it is likely that the Texas offensive that we saw in 2024 will be considerably different in 2025. Manning – who said he believed that his game most like his grandfather Archie – rushed to four touched last season and is a more dynamic precipitated threat than ewers. We may not see Manning to run a lot in 2025, but his ability to obtain the first tests with his legs will certainly make an integral part of the game book.

“I think he corresponds to his attack and his playing game,” said Manning about Sarkisian. “This is what I like most about him. He is intelligent and he is innovative and he wants to win. He’s a competitive guy. He works very hard, prepares and he puts us in the right position to win matches. »»
