Arch Manning, Quinn Ewers to Compete for Texas QB Job, HC Steve Sarkisian Says

The future might be now for the Texas Longhorns.

Head football coach Steve Sarkisian told reporters following the team's first practice Monday that the quarterback position is an open competition between sophomore Quinn Ewers and freshman Arch Manning.

"I'm not worried about who's going to be on the cover of what magazine next week," Sarkisian said. "I'm more focused on: Is each guy focusing on what they need to do to develop to be the best player that they can be? Quinn has an entire year of a head start, but I don't want to hold Arch back.
