Arch Manning's tenure as Texas' full-time starting quarterback begins with a bang on Aug. 30, when the Longhorns travel to Ohio State in a rematch from the College Football Playof

Former Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer has been enjoying his time as a college football analyst for Fox Sports. All season long, he has provided strong takes across the nation, but his love for Ohio State has still been very clear.

Here are some way-too-early predictions for Texas QB Arch Manning after Quinn Ewers officially declared for the 2025 NFL Draft.

Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers will declare for the 2025 NFL Draft, he announced Wednesday. The decision ends his career with the Longhorns and clears the way for Arch Manning to start in 2025.  Ewers came to Austin as a transfer from Ohio State with tremendous hype as the first perfectly-rated quarterback in the 247Sports Composite since Vince Young.

Arch is finally the Man (ning) in Austin. Texas starting quarterback Quinn Ewers declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft has cleared the path for Manning to be the Longhorns’ starting quarterback next season. It’s possible next season will be Manning’s lone campaign as a starter before leaving for the NFL.

One play after the ensuing kickoff, though, Ohio State answered emphatically when quarterback Will Howard threw a short screen pass to running back TreVeyon Henderson, who did the rest with a 75-yard catch-and-run to put Ohio State up by seven to enter the first half.

Texas junior quarterback Quinn Ewers has declared for the NFL draft, ending a Longhorns career in which he led the program to a Big 12 championship and twice to the College Football Playoff but was not always embraced by a fan base eagerly waiting for Arch Manning to take over.

Manning's first game as the unquestioned face of Texas football will be against the same team Ewers faced in his last: Ohio State in Week 1.
