Texas Longhorns backup quarterback Arch Manning is all the buzz after his incredible five-touchdown performance versus UTSA this past weekend, including a scrambling 67-yard touchdown with his feet—a feat his uncles weren’t known for. Manning came in the game in relief of three-year starter Quinn Ewers, who suffered a rib injury during the first half.
Texas fans aren’t the only ones who are keen on what they’ve seen of Manning so far.
In fact, Manning earned a handful weekly honors after his (more or less) breakout debut.
That includes the Southeastern Conference, which named Manning its Co-Freshman of the Week.
