Texas Longhorns - English
Arch Manning‘s arrival on the college football stage has been nothing short of electrifying, and after a remarkable statistical achievement, analysts are already entertaining serious Heisman Trophy speculation.
The 21-year-old will take over as the starter at the Texas Longhorns in the 2025/26 NCAA season and the hype is so palpable that he’s already attracting interest from the NFL.
But first is college. And the redshirt freshman quarterback is a breakout star in the making. With a NIL of $6.6m and his famous last name (nephew or Peyton and Eli Manning) earning him deals with the likes of Red Bull, it’s no surprise he’s tipped for big things.
But he’s not just a nepotism baby. He has talent to back it up and a FOX Sports analyst believes he could be in the race for the Heisman Trophy after uncovering a ridiculous statistic.
Did the Chiefs Miss an Opportunity With Their Schedule Release Video?
“He had a 75-yard passing touchdown,” RJ Young told The Number One College Football Show. “And a 65-yard rushing touchdown — and another 50-plus yard passing touchdown.
“That makes him the first player in 25 years in the FBS or the NFL to accomplish that feat in a single game.”
“It feels like a wild statistic, kind of like homering in domes at night on Sunday… But if you take a look at the film, you can see the traits of an outstanding quarterback.”
The Heisman Trophy is, of course, handed out to the outstanding player of a respective college football season. The current incumbent is Travis Hunter, who won the prize with the Colorado Buffaloes before being drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Longhorns to reshape offense around Manning
Manning’s physical attributes, consisting of a 6’4″ frame, quick footwork, and a live arm, are a stark contrast to those of Quinn Ewers – who was known for his short and snappy releases more akin to Tom Brady.
So with the talented prospect stepping into the leading role, it’s no surprise that the Longhorns are reinventing themselves around a series of new traits to keep themselves dynamic in the 2025/26 NCAA campaign.
Texas is positioning itself for a major postseason run and Manning appears to be the key through his dual-threat talents, and this is something Steve Sarkisian has admitted to.
“Any coach that tries to be a good coach,” Sarkisian told the On Second Thought show. “You try to play to the strengths of your players and play to the strengths of your team, right?
“What we’ve seen from Arch… he’s a very good deep ball passer. He’s probably… He’s got some size and athleticism to him that offer us some different things.”
The Longhorns take on the Ohio State Buckeyes, the winners of the 2024/25 National Championship Game, in their season opener. The pair clash on August 30.

Lingfield and Bath host competitive Wednesday cards
Motazzen will have to see off Appier and Emaculate Soldier if he is to carry a 6lb penalty to victory in one of Wednesday's feature contests from Lingfield.2.05 Lingfield - Motazzen attempts to defy penaltyMotazzen heads to Lingfield having won his last four starts which include three over hurdles and most recently back on the flat at Southwell and will attempt to go for a fifth win in a row, attempting to defy the 6lb rise from his win in Nottinghamshire last time out. Henrietta Knight's charge picked his way through the field and showed a good turn of foot to win well at Southwell two weeks ago, which earned him a 6lb rise in the weights. At the line he was a shade cosy so you would suggest a bold showing could be expected on his return in this […]
‘Caught cold’ – Athers on England’s ‘curious, calamitous’ South Africa collapse
Michael Atherton urged England to wake up fast after a crushing seven-wicket defeat to South Africa at Headingley, warning their lack of preparation and format adjustment is already jeopardising their hopes of clinching the ODI series.England collapsed from 82-2 to 131 all out in just 24.3 overs, losing their final eight wickets for 49 runs as South Africa cruised to victory to go 1-0 up in the three-match series. Atherton pointed to the potential disruptive impact of the Hundred concluding just two days prior but insisted there was excuse for England's failure to recalibrate to the demands of 50-over cricket."England, without question, have been caught cold," he told Sky Sports. "South Africa look like a side who have been together playing serious international cricket."England's players have been through a month of The Hundred - the eliminator and finals were this […]

‘We will see the best of Lando’ – McLaren boss expects Norris title fightback
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella believes Lando Norris' retirement in Zandvoort will bring out the best of the British driver to ignite a title fightback.Norris trails championship leader Oscar Piastri by 34 points after an oil leak caused by the car's chassis forced him to retire during the latter stages of the Dutch Grand Prix, which was won by his McLaren team-mate. The points gap between the title protagonists is the biggest of this season and it comes with nine rounds remaining, starting with this weekend's Italian Grand Prix at Monza."If anything, we may see even a better version of Lando because now is the time to extract, if there is anything more, even more out of his potential," said Stella."I look forward to seeing Lando in the coming races. I'm sure this is going to be a great spectacle […]
