Quinn Ewers discussed Arch Manning's position on the Longhorns squad

As the Texas Longhorns join the Southeastern Conference this year, the team is excited for a new chapter of college football.

Quinn Ewers is back on the squad with hopes of leading the team to a national championship, while Arch Manning, the freshman shot caller, will continue to learn more about the position as a backup.

While talking to Robert Griffin III about Manning, Ewers said:

"Not being from the state and coming in, it's obviously a little different. I think he's got more time to grow his pride and love for the university. ... Being able to sit back and watch, it's different than playing. So him seeing kinda what's going on from inside but also outside, he can gain a lot of intel from that." (17:01)

"And then, obviously, another year to learn the offense and just get more comfortable within the smaller details. It's like the best situation for him, I think," he added.

Although there was some noise around Manning hitting the transfer portal, the rumors were quashed when he started during the Longhorns' spring game.

Fans can expect to see Ewers suit up for the starting position once again and if the season goes well for the Steve Sarkisian-led squad, they can also expect him to go in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft.
