Arch Manning's year, and by extension, Texas' year as well. They're poised to make an impressive run and really challenge for a title. Something will undoubtedly go wrong, but what? One college insider says the turnover on the offensive line from 2024 to 2025 might be too much for Manning and company to truly thrive.

"Very well" is the guess. Quinn Ewers has taken his talents to South Beach as a seventh-round draft pick of the Miami Dolphins, leaving Manning poised to turn a two-year apprenticeship into what could be Texas' next great quarterback run — but will 2025 be his final year of college ball?

Despite the expectation and criticism, Manning remained loyal to the Longhorns. He knows just how well he fits in Texas and he wanted to do things the right way. In response to the criticism that Manning has received, former NFL star quarterback Cam Newton spoke out and did not hold back on the young Longhorns signal caller.
