Introduction
Heading into the 2025 college football season, all eyes were on the University of Texas and their star quarterback Arch Manning. With Texas being the number one team in the country and Manning being the favorite to go first overall in the 2026 NFL draft, expectations were high. However, things did not go as planned for the Longhorns and Manning.
Disappointing Performance
In a highly anticipated matchup against Ohio State, Manning struggled and was unable to lead his team to victory. He completed just 50% of his passes and threw two interceptions, resulting in a 28-21 loss for Texas. This was a surprising and disappointing performance from the highly touted quarterback.
Impact on Draft Stock
The loss to Ohio State has raised questions about Manning's draft stock. Many NFL scouts and analysts are now questioning whether he truly has what it takes to be a top pick in the draft. His performance in this game has certainly hurt his chances, and he will need to bounce back in the remaining games of the season to regain his position at the top of the draft board.
