After spring practice, Arch Manning spoke about being Quinn Ewers understudy, the pressure waiting created and why he never transferred.

It took two years, but the Arch Manning era is just about to begin for Texas. Despite the long wait behind now NFL-bound Quinn Ewers, Manning explained Thursday that he never would have transferred to leave this dream behind.

And he is ready to take over the Texas offense in 2025. "I wanted to be the quarterback at the University of Texas," quarterback Arch Manning told reporters Thursday when discussing why he didn't transfer when he was behind Quinn Ewers on the depth chart. "Sometimes things are worth the wait."
