Manning, the son of Cooper and nephew of Peyton and Eli, played sparingly as a freshman last season as Ewers led the Longhorns to the College Football Playoff semifinals.
Quinn Ewers is in a unique spotlight, having led Texas to the College Football Playoff semifinals last season and opting to return to Austin instead of entering the NFL draft, as fans clamor for the most famous backup quarterback in the country, Arch Manning , to take the field.“There’s pressure with anything,” Ewers, now projected to be one of the top quarterbacks taken in the 2025 NFL Draft, told ESPN in a television interview.
Ewers says he and Manning, whom he described as “goofy,” are “good buddies,” something head coach Steve Sarkisian echoed during anWhy Arch Manning hasn’t transferred from Texas despite backup role “These guys are great, great friends. Nobody gets along better,” Sarkisian said. “There’s a real level of appreciation for what each guy is doing. Because they know the journey, they know the path, they know how we coach him. From Archer’s perspective, he’s watching Quinn have to go through some of the adversity, having a fight through injury, having to deal with the criticism of being the quarterback of Texas, so to see him have success, I think Arch is fired up for Quinn.
“On the flip side, I think Quinn recognizes Arch’s journey Year 1 in our system and what that’s like. If you go back to the spring game Arch’s true freshman year, what that looked like, and then to see how he played Year 2 in the system, there’s great appreciation from Quinn for what Arch is doing. So in the end, we’re probably going to need both those guys at some point this season.”
