Texas Longhorns - English
Over the past two years, the spotlight in college football was on Shedeur Sanders, but now the media-hyped quarterback is already in the NFL, fighting for a spot with the Cleveland Browns, who surprisingly selected him in the fifth round with the 144th pick.
However, the keys to the NCAA have now been handed over to what many consider the greatest talent ever seen at the college level – Arch Manning, quarterback for the Texas Longhorns. Manning has spent two years at the University of Texas behind Quinn Ewers, and now the nephew of Peyton and Eli will take over as the starting quarterback for the prestigious university.
Eli Mannint gives his blessing to Jaxson Dart as Giants QB
The NFL is so enamored with Arch Manning that, despite having started only two games for the Longhorns in his career, betting houses already have him as the top favorite to become the number one pick in the next NFL Draft.
Still, Arch declaring for the draft is far from guaranteed. He may follow in the footsteps of his uncles, Peyton and Eli Manning, who were successful in the NFL but spent four years in college. At this point, Arch would only be entering his third season at the collegiate level.
NFL analyst surprised by Arch Manning’s Talent
Renowned NFL analyst Todd McShay called Arch Manning one of the biggest and most complete prospects in a long time – someone who will undoubtedly be highly coveted by many NFL teams.
Arch Manning Leads Odds to Go #1 Overall in 2026 NFL Draft
“There are two things that catch my attention,” McShay wrote on Monday. “First: this kid has it all in terms of talent. I’m not saying he’s Lamar Jackson as a runner or that he has Josh Allen’s arm, but Arch has all the tools. His combination of prototypical size, mobility, excellent throwing mechanics, and natural accuracy… he has everything to be a great player.”
In the 2024 season, Manning served as a backup quarterback, playing in 10 games and starting in two of them. During that season, he completed approximately 68% of his passes for 939 yards, nine touchdowns, and only two interceptions.
“The more he played, the fewer negative notes I had on him, and the more I was impressed by his ability to not make the same mistake twice,” McShay added. “That speaks to a hungry and very coachable player.”
“Arch is in one of the best positions to succeed that a quarterback prospect has had in recent memory,” McShay concluded.
The NFL’s confidence in Arch Manning is incredible. Now he’ll have to prove it in 2025 with a program like the Texas Longhorns, who made it to the College Football Playoff. His debut as the team’s starting quarterback will be none other than against the reigning champions, Ohio State.

Výjimečný český talent vstupuje mezi elitu. Na vysněném mítinku, s velkými plány
Syn bývalé sedmibojařky a nyní moderátorky Kateřiny Nekolné je výjimečným talentem, který mu jeho křehké zdraví dlouho neumožňovalo naplno předvést.Až loni pod vedením kouče Josefa Karase zazářil naplno, když se stal v peruánské Limě juniorským mistrem světa, navíc v součtu 8425 bodů, jen deset bodů od světového rekordu této kategorie. Experti ho zařadili mezi tři vycházející hvězdy evropské atletiky.Bylo to Järvinenův poslední vystoupení mezi juniory, v devatenácti letech se přesouvá mezi dospělé. Plány na halový víceboj zhatilo zranění třísla, na letní sezonu už se připravil bez výraznějších omezení. Alespoň těch zdravotních.Od plné koncentrace na atletiku ho odváděly studijní povinnosti. „Není to jednoduché, celý den se učím, pak jdu trénovat, cestou domů se také učím. Regenerace není tolik, i se mi špatně spí na to, kolik energie spotřebuju,“ posteskl si Järvinen, jenž se snaží do hlavy dostat co nejvíce informací z češtiny, angličtiny, účetnictví, managementu a ekonomie.Odměnou po studijním […]
How fate gave Brighton’s cousins Hinshelwood and Howell ‘surreal’ moment to treasure
It was a ‘pinch me’ moment for a footballing dynasty when Jack Hinshelwood slotted Brighton & Hove Albion’s late winner against Liverpool at the Amex Stadium on Monday night.Hinshelwood’s cousin, Harry Howell, was just a few yards away, in the penalty area, when the midfielder converted Matt O’Riley’s cross in the 85th minute to snatch a 3-2 victory against the Premier League champions.Just a minute earlier the family members had been standing on the touchline together, side by side, as head coach Fabian Hurzeler simultaneously brought on the pair of homegrown players, both of whom started at the club in the under-7s. The moment Harry Howell come on alongside his cousin, Jack to become our youngest-ever #PL player at the age of 17 years and 29 days old. ✨ pic.twitter.com/FcOCEskOVB — Brighton & Hove Albion (@OfficialBHAFC) May 20, 2025It was […]
Procházka smetl ze stolu lukrativní bitvu v UFC. Velké rozhodnutí, tvrdí
Z Procházkova pohledu to v posledních týdnech nebylo pouze o učení na vrchol školních povinností. Má za sebou například i odvážný experiment, během nějž uplaval na jeden nádech 30 metrů pod ledem či se zúčastnil slavnostního ceremoniálu japonské organizace Rizin. Spolu s tím však nezapomněl ani na trénování s vyhlídkami na již osmé vystoupení v nejprestižnější bojové lize světa.Máte za sebou plno cest i zážitků. Jste proto zaneprázdněný i s ohledem na to, že vás brzo čekají závěrečné zkoušky na škole, kde dokončujete magisterské studium?Zaneprázdněný jsem hodně. Ale je pravda, že jsem teď měl hodně cest, zážitků a všech možných dobrodružství. Následující měsíc, zhruba do 24. či 25. června, jsem si ale jasně stanovil, že se budu jenom učit, s čímž už pomalu začínám. Například tento týden byl takový, dá se říct, učící. Je to sice trochu kousavé, minimálně ten začátek, ale vím, že to půjde dobře a dobře se připravím.Zvládáte do toho i trénovat?Musím […]
Hurricanes’ Shayne Gostisbehere appears to intentionally fire shot at Panthers’ Brad Marchand in Game 1 loss
Getty Images Brad Marchand has always been a willing shot-blocker throughout his NHL career, but he probably isn't used to seeing pucks fired at him intentionally. That's what Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere appeared to do in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final on Tuesday night.Late in the Panthers' 5-2 win, Marchand narrowly missed Gostisbehere with a big hit, which the latter apparently didn't appreciate. Just seconds later, Gostisbehere had the puck in the neutral zone when he seemed to wind and fire a wrist shot into the midsection of Marchand on purpose.Marchand certainly took exception to the play because he immediately went after Gostisbehere. The Panthers forward dropped his gloves, and the two combatants wrestled to the ground. Once the dust settled, Marchand was assessed two minor penalties for roughing and a 10-minute misconduct for dropping the gloves […]
