Hello, Arch Manning. Step right up. It’s your time. The Quinn Ewers Era has officially come to an end. With a bang unquestionably — Cotton Bowl score aside in the playoff semifinals — because he raised the level of play at quarterback not seen since 2009 and the Texas program flourished under his three-year reign and is as well-positioned for the change as any team in college football.

The program awaits a decision from starting quarterback Quinn Ewers, who has indicated he could also head to the NFL. That would leave Arch Manning to step in as the starter in 2025.
