In their scouting report of Arch Manning, 247 Sports noted that the quarterback has an ideal frame with mobility to match. They added that any throw on the field, the nephew of Peyton and Eli can make it.

“Displays excellent arm talent, showing the ability to make any throw on the field within the pocket,” 247 Sports said of Manning. “Shows the ability to drive the ball down the field and throw with velocity. Throws an exceptional deep ball, flashing outstanding touch and ball placement allowing him to throw his receivers open.

The Longhorns do have quarterback Quinn Ewers, the No. 1 overall recruit in 2021 on the roster. However, with Manning's bloodline and projected talent, it wouldn't be shocking to see him on the field for Texas sooner rather than later.
