AUSTIN — The Texas Longhorns have one of the best QB rooms in the country featuring Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning. Ewers had a productive 2023 season throwing for 3,479 yards and 22 touchdowns, and Manning has shown promise accounting for 355 yards and three touchdowns in the 2024 Longhorns spring game.

On most teams, Manning would be the day-one starter, but with Ewers in front of him at Texas, he will have to wait his turn for one more season. That has not deterred Manning from continuing to put work in knowing his number could be called at any time.

“I feel like I’m getting better every day Just trying to stay ready. Anything can happen. I’m excited and I’m gonna be ready.”

While competition among quarterbacks can often create tension between teammates, Manning says he and Ewers have become good friends. He acknowledges learning a great deal from Ewers, emphasizing that their dynamic is both healthy and supportive.

“He’s been great, learning under him, just the way he goes about his business and attacks his preparation. I’m thrilled that I’ve been learning from such a good guy. He carries himself in a good manner and we’re good friends, so it’s been awesome.”
