Arch Manning's Rise and the Scouts' Divide | Texas Longhorns Football News

Arch Manning’s rise as a Heisman contender and potential 2027 NFL Draft top pick is heating up — but not without controversy. One NFC scout compares him to Daniel Jones, calling him a solid prospect, not a superstar. Despite a rocky start last season that saw Texas stumble, Manning turned things around mid-season, leading the Longhorns to seven wins in eight games with a touchdown-to-interception ratio that spoke volumes. Coach Steve Sarkisian praised his resilience under fire, saying most would’ve cracked under the pressure — Manning kept grinding, focused on being the best player and teammate he could be. Now, he’s not alone in the elite conversation: Oregon’s Dante Moore and Notre Dame’s CJ Carr are also vying for the top spot. While the hype is real, scouts remain divided — some see elite potential, others see a player still needing to prove he can be the best. The race is on.
