Summary

- Both QBs aim for national titles and Heisman attention.
As the 2026 college football season approaches, the 2027 NFL Draft quarterback class is taking shape. Oregon's Dante Moore and Texas' Arch Manning are rapidly distinguishing themselves as the top prospects. Moore, who surprised many by returning to Eugene, is currently favored by ESPN scouts as the No. 2 overall pick.
Manning, despite Moore's growing momentum, is still considered by some as the presumptive No. 1 quarterback in the draft due to his name and potential. Both players are leading national championship contenders and are expected to vie for Heisman Trophy attention throughout the upcoming season.
Moore's development is key, with analysts noting his need for consistency, comparing his potential to C.J. Stroud. Manning carries generational expectations as he plays in the SEC. The competition between these two stars promises to be a defining narrative of the 2026 college football season and could impact the record for quarterbacks drafted in the first round.
