In spite of the allure that the narratives and plotlines might hold if Arch Manning were to take up the mantle of starting quarterback this season, Texas Longhorns' head coach, Steve Sarkisian, has unequivocally asserted Quinn Ewers as the primary QB1. Ewers aims to validate the Heisman speculations that have encompassed him during this pre-season period.
Manning, commencing his freshman year amid the considerable buzz surrounding him as perhaps one of the most discussed college football prospects to date, presently finds himself in the role of third-string quarterback, trailing Ewers and Maalik Murphy. Nonetheless, an anonymous defensive coordinator from the Big 12 conference opines that it may not be long before Manning surpasses both individuals and ascends to the starting quarterback position, conceivably even within this ongoing season. Nevertheless, the prospect of Manning being redshirted and observing from the sidelines throughout this year remains a plausible scenario, thereby rendering this argument moot.
"As time progresses, I anticipate the emergence of the other young talent (Arch Manning) superseding his predecessor (Ewers)," the Big 12 coach shared with Adam Rittenberg of ESPN.
The unidentified coach expressed his viewpoint that Ewers is not at par with other quarterbacks within the Big 12 conference, which he regards as a catalyst for Manning's eventual rise.
