When New Orleans (La.) Isidore Newman Five-Star Plus+ quarterback Arch Manning originally burst onto the recruiting landscape, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian made sure the Longhorns were one of the first teams in heavy pursuit of the gunslinger from football’s first family.
Throughout the process for Arch and the rest of the Manning family, whether visiting campuses, meeting with coaches at Newman, or just fielding phone calls and texts, Texas let Manning know how much he was wanted in Austin. That relentless pursuit by Sarkisian, AJ Milwee, and a host of others involved with the Longhorn football program has paid off.
