With Arch Manning, Texas Has Its Most Famous Quarterback Ever. Will He Deliver? [View all]

The University of Texas has never been here before. At least, not exactly.

The Longhorns have had really (really) good football teams in the past, but as we kick off the 2025 season Saturday, Texas is the top dog and boasting the biggest celebrity quarterback in the country.

The hype around this season isn’t just loud — it’s deafening. The Longhorns enter 2025 as the No. 1 team in the country for the first time ever, and they’re opening against No. 3 Ohio State in Columbus.

National analysts are picking UT to not only win the SEC but to win another championship.

It all revolves around Arch Manning, the latest scion of the famed NFL quarterback dynasty that includes Archie Manning (his grandfather) as well as Peyton and Eli Manning (uncles).

After sitting for two years, Arch is ready to start. And everyone is paying attention.
