University of Texas quarterback Arch Manning addressed reporters at the SEC Media Days, outlining his approach to the 2026 season following a challenging year for the program. [1]
Manning's 2025 campaign proved tumultuous early on, with the Longhorns opening 3-2 before rallying to finish 10-3. [1] He absorbed 23 sacks during the season, facing significant pressure with an average pass time of approximately 3.2 seconds. [1] Despite the rocky start, Manning steered the team to a dominant 7-1 run to close out the year. [1]
The quarterback emphasized his focus on the present rather than future considerations. [1] "I just want to be remembered as a good teammate and someone who does everything I can to win games for my team," Manning stated. [1] Head coach Steve Sarkisian acknowledged the mental toll, saying that what Manning endured "might destroy 99 percent of people." [1]
Manning carries the weight of considerable family expectations as the son of Cooper Manning and nephew of both Peyton and Eli Manning, with Archie Manning as his grandfather. [1] Nevertheless, he has committed to concentrating on his performance and avoiding distractions related to NFL draft prospects or family legacy. [1]
Texas has bolstered its roster ahead of the upcoming season, adding wide receiver Cam Coleman from Auburn, running back Hollywood Smothers from North Carolina State, and running back Raleek Brown from Arizona State. [1] The Longhorns open their schedule on September 12 against Ohio State. [1] Manning is set to graduate in December. [1]
