Archie Manning Has Strong Words About Arch Manning’s 2026 NFL Draft Plans originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The buzz surrounding Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning has been steadily building for the past several years, dating all the way back to his recruitment as the No. 1 rated prospect in the 2023 class.

Arch Manning has only started two total games for the Texas Longhorns, but the next great quarterback in the Manning family is already generating the type of attention the likes of Tim Tebow and Johnny Manziel received in the SEC.

Regardless of whether Arch Manning remains in college for his senior season, next year’s draft is considered deep at quarterback. Clemson’s Cade Klubnik, LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier, South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers and Penn State’s Drew Allar are among the top prospects.
