Arch Manning has served as Quinn Ewers' understudy for 2 seasons but the time has for come to lead Texas football. Ewers is heading to the NFL draft.

The longest college football season is in the books, but it is not too soon to look ahead. Arch Manning will start, Bill Belichick will coach and Jeremiah Smith will continue to dominate.

But Manning has done everything his way through his recruitment and since he got to Texas. And now, finally, with Ewers announcing for the NFL Draft on Wednesday, the keys are in Manning’s hands to run the Longhorns’ offense. He’s being handed a Lamborghini and Manning should make it purr.

Texas QB Arch Manning has the Longhorns at the top of one analyst's way-too-early college football rankings following the CFP title game.

One college football analyst is buying into the Texas hype. Rivals' Adam Gorney shared his prediction for the Longhorns' 2025 football season.

Manning's first game as the unquestioned face of Texas football will be against the same team Ewers faced in his last: Ohio State in Week 1.

Texas has reached consecutive College Football Playoff semifinals and posted 25 wins over two years. You have to go all the way back to when Colt McCoy was playing quarterback during coach Mack Brown's heyday more than 15 years ago to find a better stretch.

Smith and Manning are among the rising superstars who not only helped their teams get to the 2024 postseason but also figure to define the race to the 2025 national championship. They will be household names next fall as two of the biggest figures in the entire sport.

Arch Manning is expected to bring Texas football to a new level taking Quinn Ewers' place as the Longhorns' undisputed leader.
