While Quinn Ewers will be the starting quarterback for Texas this season, the Longhorns have a talented quarterback on the bench waiting for his moment.
Ahead of the 2024 season, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian spoke highly of sophomore Arch Manning. Sarkisian emphasized that Manning has developed well, but still needs in-game reps.
