Texas quarterback Arch Manning revealed his reason for staying with the Longhorns instead of transferring following the 2023 season.

"It's tough because you want to be out there playing with your boys," Manning said, per Larry Holder of The Athletic. "But [it came down to] just realizing there's nowhere else I want to be, and it was my dream to play at Texas. I'm going to stick it out and play there eventually."

The 19-year-old spent his freshman season behind Quinn Ewers and Maalik Murphy on Texas' depth chart.
