Arch Manning’s recruitment process over the past few years was heavily publicized, resulting in the quarterback choosing to attend Texas in 2023. Many teams were in on Manning, but coach Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns program landed the top recruit.
Earlier this year, Cooper Manning said his son took control of his own recruitment process, which means that Arch was the driving force behind making the decision. And, in an interview with Sports Illustrated‘s Ross Dellenger, Archie Manning explained his grandson’s decision even further.
Archie explained that Arch and Sarkisian hit it off the moment they first met.
