The 21-year-old hasn’t hinted at anything yet, but his grandfather, the legendary Archie Manning, may have just killed the hopes and dreams of teams who may find themselves at the top of the 2026

Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning is the reason the school received its first-ever No. 1 ranking in the preseason Coach’s Poll. He’s got tremendous athletic abilities on the field. He certainly didn’t show it, though, in a reaction test he posted of himself miserably failing.

The No. 1 overall recruit in the 2023 class and nephew of NFL greats Peyton and Eli Manning is widely expected to emerge as one of the best signal callers in the country in 2025 due to his big arm and athleticism. This past season saw him throw for 939 yards and nine touchdowns, while also rushing for another four.
