Texas Longhorns - English
Tony Alvarez - LW English
As Arch Manning enters his third collegiate season at Texas, the hype surrounding him has reached an all-time high. The 21-year-old quarterback is widely considered a Heisman Trophy favorite, with the Longhorns ranked among the country’s top teams in early polling. His name is already being floated atop 2026 NFL Draft boards, despite limited playing time as a starter. While many analysts are praising his potential, others question whether Manning’s fame is driving the hype more than his on-field résumé.
Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt is among Manning’s most vocal supporters, recently declaring him the second-best quarterback in college football during an appearance on The Herd. Klatt cited Manning’s ability to threaten defenses with his arm strength, accuracy, and intelligence, comparing him to former Clemson star Trevor Lawrence.

Host Colin Cowherd embraced Klatt’s assessment, but not everyone is convinced. Manning spent most of last season backing up Quinn Ewers, who played through a torn oblique injury, leaving some to wonder why head coach Steve Sarkisian didn’t turn to Manning earlier if he was truly ready.

So, then, what will happen?
The debate over Manning’s legitimacy as an elite prospect has sparked heated discussions. While his talent is evident, skeptics argue that his last name has amplified his reputation beyond what he has proven on the field. Former Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray has voiced concerns about Manning’s rapid rise, questioning why Texas didn’t hand him the reins last season when Ewers struggled. Others wonder how Manning will handle the transition to the SEC, where defenses are known to be tougher and more physical.
Still, Manning’s supporters believe his breakout moment is coming. NFL Draft analysts have praised his mechanics, footwork, and ability to lead an offense, with many projecting him as a future first-round pick. Texas’ national title hopes also play into the excitement, as Manning is expected to play a key role in the Longhorns’ championship aspirations. His skill set, combined with the team’s talent, could put him in the Heisman conversation well into the season.
The upcoming campaign will be a defining moment for Manning as he works to silence critics and prove he can live up to his growing expectations. If he delivers on the field and guides Texas to the College Football Playoff, his status as an elite quarterback will be cemented. However, if he struggles or fails to separate himself from other top passers, the conversation surrounding his hype will only intensify.
As the college football season nears, all eyes will be on Manning and the Longhorns. Whether he rises to the occasion or faces increased scrutiny, his journey promises to be one of the most compelling storylines in the sport.

Lyon pede R$ 44 milhões para vender Adryelson e Grêmio não deve avançar na contratação de ex-zagueiro do Botafogo

Emma Raducanu will miss next week's Berlin Tennis Open as she continues to manage a back problem.The 22-year-old has been struggling with the issue since competing in Strasbourg last month before the French Open and took an off-court medical timeout during her quarter-final loss to Qinwen Zheng at Queen's Club on Friday. Speaking afterwards, Raducanu said: "It's been lingering for the last few weeks, and I have had back issues before. I think it's just a vulnerability of mine. I know I need to take good care of it."I'm not overly concerned that it's something serious, but I know it's something that's very annoying and needs proper and careful management."Raducanu had elected to play in the German capital rather than Nottingham after being offered a wild card into the WTA 500 event, which is set to feature nine of the […]

Angel Reese in trouble: Chicago Sky teammates freeze her out rather than pass her the ball
Angel Reese may have posted one of her more complete stat lines of the season on Friday, but the numbers didn't tell the full story - and they certainly didn't lift the Chicago Sky to a much-needed win.

It was how her own teammates treated her.Angel Reese's puffy eyes show recent strugglesReese managed 12 points on 4-of-10 shooting and grabbed nine rebounds, adding three assists and a steal in 32 minutes. But her struggles finishing around the rim - especially on layups - once again became the focus, as clips of her failed shot attempts went viral after the final buzzer.One viral post on X summed up the mood: "Angel Reese plays like Ewing when the MonStars took his talent."

South Africa defeat Australia to win World Test Championship
South Africa defeated Australia to win the World Test Championship at Lord's.South Africa were left with 69 runs to chase down on Saturday to collect their first ICC trophy in 27 years. Their captain Temba Bavuma played on through a hamstring injury he'd sustained the day before, scoring a vital 66 with the bat, although he was an early wicket on Saturday when he edged a delivery from Pat Cummins into the waiting gloves of wicketkeeper Alex Carey.South Africa had been facing a daunting task, needing 282 to win the final against the defending champions. But they defied the odds with Aiden Markram responding to the deficit by scoring a century, his eighth in test match cricket and his most important.Tristan Stubbs registered eight runs when he came on after Bavuma was dismissed before Mitchell Starc took out his stumps.
