In going to play for Texas, Arch Manning is giving the Longhorns a pipeline of consensus No. 1 recruits. He is likely to be the second-string quarterback as a true freshman behind Quinn Ewers, the No. 1 recruit in the 2021 class.
Ewers is in his first year starting at Texas after transferring from Ohio State. Ewers had been off to a solid start to his collegiate career, passing for 359 yards with two touchdowns and a pick after his first game, and played well against No. 1 Alabama, but was injured in the first quarter and had to leave the game. He expects to return for the team’s Oct. 8 game against Oklahoma.
