5 QBs who could overshadow Arch Manning in the 2025 NCAA season

Arch Manning continues to attract early attention as one of the college football prospects to watch ahead of the 2025 season.

His football pedigree and physical and mental abilities make the 21-year-old Texas Longhorns player a great option. After Quinn Ewers declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, Manning brought more dynamic attacks to the team with his agility and speed. During the 2024 season, he played 10 games, two as a starter, and threw for 939 yards, nine touchdowns, and only two interceptions.

Jeremiah Smith, the stellar Ohio State weapon, predicts with his game, not with cheap talk

However, five other quarterbacks could steal the spotlight.

Garrett Nussmeier

Detroit Lions Sign Veteran LB Zach Cunningham

Coming from the LSU Tigers and son of former NFL player and coach Doug Nussmeier, the 23-year-old has put up some impressive numbers.

His 6’2″ frame and 201 pounds allow him to move with confidence, and he racked up 4,052 passing yards, 12 interceptions, and 29 touchdown passes last year. However, he will need to work on his athleticism and minimize the 15 turnovers he accumulated last season, which he could achieve as LSU has strengthened its receiving corps.

John Mateer

His previous season with 3,139 passing yards backs him up as one of the candidates to steal the spotlight.

A talented, athletic, and effective passer, he was the only player to average at least 250 passing yards and 50 rushing yards. Excluding sacks, Mateer would have surpassed 1,000 rushing yards.

After entering the transfer portal on December 18, 2024, Mateer announced that he would play for the Oklahoma Sooners. Now he will have to prove what he is made of, and he will have the opportunity to do so when they host Michigan in Week 2.

Drew Allar

The 21-year-old from the Penn State Nittany Lions could shine after a promising 2024. He has proven that he can run, that he is astute in his decision-making and very skilled, but he will need to increase the effort of his wide receivers, as they did not make a single reception in a CFP game last season.

With 3,327 passing yards and 24 touchdown passes, he could quickly stand out this season.

Sam Leavitt

At just 20 years old, the Arizona State Sun Devils quarterback had a breakout season in 2024. His strong performance made him one of the key players on the team, and he has a big advantage: this year, he will continue to throw passes to his teammate Jordyn Tyson, who racked up 1,101 receiving yards last season.

In addition, Leavitt’s legs are another plus: he ran for 60 yards in the CFP game against Texas alone, where they were defeated.

Under Kenny Dillingham’s leadership for the past three years, Sam could be the team’s hope to become Big 12 champions and steal the spotlight.

Cade Klubnik

The Clemson Tigers youngster is undoubtedly one of the strongest contenders to overshadow Manning’s success.

His best season as a starter was last year, and he seems to be getting better and better. Klubnik threw for just over 3,600 yards, with 36 touchdowns and six interceptions. In addition, he completed 63% of his passes, setting a new career-high passer rating.

Athletic, effective, and talented, Cade also has good receivers supporting him, so Klubnik has everything to gain this year and could even win the Heisman. Will he succeed?

How Sprints could decide the F1 title battle

As if the climax of a tense battle for the 2025 Formula 1 title wasn't enough, three Sprint weekends across the final six rounds of the season are about to add more drama into the mix.Lando Norris has reduced his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri's championship lead to 22 points, while Red Bull's Max Verstappen continues to lurk 63 points back from the Australian. While there's no doubt that Piastri has the upper hand, the 24 extra points available across 100km Saturday races in Austin, Sao Paulo and Qatar will undoubtedly heighten Norris' hopes of pulling off a comeback.A quirk of this year's schedule means that for the first time since the Belgian Grand Prix in July, the Sprint format returns this weekend at the United States Grand Prix in Texas and then alternates in and out for the remaining rounds […]

Arch Manning unfazed as Steve Sarkisian retools Texas offense amid mid-season roster shake-up

In the wake of two unexpected departures, Steve Sarkisian is recalibrating the strategy at Texas Longhorns. On Wednesday at the SEC coaches teleconference, he addressed the losses of sophomore running back Jerrick Gibson and senior kicker Will Stone, both of whom left the program after participating in four games this season and intend to preserve a year of eligibility by redshirting before entering the transfer portal. Sarkisian did not mince words. "They wanted to redshirt and transfer," he said, referencing Gibson and Stone's decisions.When pressed on how the team would compensate for those departures, he stated: "Who will take those carries is everybody, whether that's Tre, whether that's Christian, whether that's James, whether that's Cedric when he gets back. We've got ample bodies; we should be okay in that aspect."For Texas, this moment presents more than just a roster shake-up. With Arch Manning entrenched as […]
