19 Aug
Summary
- Arch Manning entering first year as Texas Longhorns starting QB
- Johnny Manziel expects Manning to be top-3 SEC QB in 2025
- Manning faces high expectations and pressure to perform
As the 2025 college football season approaches, all eyes are on Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning. The young signal-caller is entering his first year as the full-time starter under center, and many national media outlets are projecting him to earn college football's highest accolades.
The lofty expectations for Manning are not unfounded. Former Texas A&M star quarterback Johnny Manziel, who has been in similar high-pressure situations, recently revealed his predictions for the young Longhorns QB. "I think he's going to live somewhere in the top three of SEC play when it's all said and done," Manziel said on the Pat McAfee show. Manziel believes Manning has the opportunity with the Longhorns' schedule and conference to position himself for a Heisman Trophy finalist spot in December.
The immense pressure and hype surrounding Manning is not lost on Manziel and McAfee. "I hope he goes on and does it," McAfee said, with Manziel agreeing, "I hope he goes off." Manning will face a tough first test against the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes on August 30th. If he can perform to the level many expect, the Heisman Trophy talk surrounding the young Longhorns QB will only intensify.
