Arch Manning Better Set Up for Success in 2026
Texas quarterback Arch Manning was one of the most hyped-up quarterbacks in recent memory heading into last season, but as a first-year starter, he had plenty of struggles, especially early in the season. However, Manning turned the corner in the second half of the year, averaging 286.2 passing yards per game, scoring 19 touchdowns, and throwing five interceptions over his final six games. He faced the No. 9, No. 5, No. 3, and No. 18-ranked teams during that stretch. Wide receiver Ryan Wingo is back in Austin, and the program brought in former Auburn star wideout Cam Coleman, forming one of the best wide receiver duos in the country. Running transfers Hollywood Smothers (NC State) and Raleek Brown (Arizona State) should give the rushing attack a much-needed boost after last year's rough showing on the ground. With a full season under his belt and an improved supporting cast, Manning could live up to the Heisman Trophy hype in his fourth year in Austin.
