Texas Longhorns - English
The Texas Longhorns have made a calculated move to bolster their quarterback depth by bringing in veteran Matthew Caldwell from the transfer portal.
This strategic acquisition mirrors the Indianapolis Colts‘ decision in 1998 to draft Peyton Manning, ensuring a seasoned backup and infrastructure to develop their franchise player.
He nailed it! Dillon Gabriel predicted that he was going to be drafted before Shedeur Sanders
With Arch Manning set to take over as the starting quarterback for the Longhorns, the team recognized the need for a reliable insurance policy.
Matthew Caldwell, who previously played under coach Gerad Parker at Troy and gained additional experience at Jacksonville State and Gardner-Webb, brings maturity and leadership to a young quarterback room.

His understanding of complex offenses and experience against Division I competition makes him an ideal fit behind Manning.
A calculated move for quarterback depth
This move reflects a broader trend in college football, where programs seek depth and veteran savvy behind their rising stars.
Manning, though a top-tier recruit with unmatched pedigree, is still adjusting to the speed and demands of top-flight college football. Giving him a seasoned quarterback like Caldwell to learn from and lean on could ease that transition and provide stability in case of injury or inconsistency.
Just as the Colts built an entire system around Peyton Manning-equipping him with protection, mentorship, and a team designed to support long-term growth-Texas appears to be setting up a similar environment for Arch.
The move also protects the team from potential derailment in the event of an injury, a reality that has become increasingly important in today’s fast-paced, injury-prone game.
Texas has championship aspirations heading into the 2025 season, and a strong quarterback room is a foundational piece of that puzzle. As they enter a new era led by Manning, this depth gives head coach Steve Sarkisian greater flexibility and peace of mind. With the veteran Caldwell ready in the wings, the Longhorns are well-positioned to handle the pressures and unpredictability of a full season.
Whether Manning lives up to the monumental expectations placed on him remains to be seen, but the Longhorns are clearly learning from history-especially the Manning legacy.
By building a stable, well-supported environment, Texas is echoing the same forward-thinking strategy that helped Peyton Manning become an NFL legend.
