The Wait Is over for Texas and Arch Manning, Though Quarterback Admits It Wasn’t Easy Being Backup

UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, JUL 15 – Arch Manning takes over as Texas starting quarterback after Quinn Ewers was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in April, ending Manning's limited playing time as a backup.

  • Texas quarterback Arch Manning introduced himself to the SEC media on July 15, 2025, in Atlanta ahead of his first season starting at Texas.
  • Manning endured a challenging transition from a top 2023 recruit to backup behind Quinn Ewers, who was drafted in April by the Miami Dolphins.
  • He started two games last season due to Ewers' injury, passing for 939 yards with nine touchdowns and running for four scores while earning teammates' respect.
  • Manning admitted, "It was probably a pain having me as the backup," and said, "I've got a lot to prove" while Coach Sarkisian praised his work ethic and readiness.
  • With Ewers moved on, Manning’s patient period is over, positioning him to lead Texas in the season-opener against national champion Ohio State on August 30, 2025.
