The Wait Is over for Texas and Arch Manning, Though Quarterback Admits It Wasn’t Easy Being Backup

UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, JUL 15 – Arch Manning takes over as Texas starting quarterback after Quinn Ewers was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in April, ending Manning's limited playing time as a backup.

  • Texas quarterback Arch Manning addressed the media on July 15, 2025, at SEC Media Days in Atlanta before his first season as starter.
  • Manning transitioned from a highly sought-after 2023 recruit to backup behind Quinn Ewers, but transferring never crossed his mind despite available options.
  • He started two games due to Ewers' injury last season, passing for 939 yards with nine touchdowns while teammates and coach praised his work ethic and poise.
  • Manning said, "It was probably a pain having me as the backup" and added, "I've got a lot to prove," while Sarkisian urged him to stay true to himself.
  • With Ewers drafted and the starting role now his, Manning’s patient period ended, signaling readiness to lead Texas as the season opener approaches.
