The Fox Sports analyst also addressed one of the biggest questions surrounding Manning’s performance.

“Yes, I do think it can be fixed,” Klatt stated when asked about Manning’s inconsistency. However, he raised a concern that could explain some of the difficulties. “If it doesn’t get fixed, then I’m going to start to wonder. Is he 100% healthy? Because the arm angle at times is way too short.”

For Texas football, the development of Arch Manning carries massive weight. The Longhorns have built their future around their prized recruit, and every update on his progress matters. Klatt’s belief that improvement is possible underscores how much room for growth remains. Arch Manning remains the central figure of hope for Texas football and the program’s long-term stability and success.

The encouraging words come as the Longhorns prepare for a demanding stretch of their season. With fans eager to see Manning’s breakout, Joel Klatt’s outlook offers balance. It acknowledges the struggles while pointing toward a solution. If Manning can refine his mechanics and confirm his health, Texas football could benefit from a quarterback who lives up to his potential.
