What Eli Manning Believes Arch Manning Should Do With Quinn Ewers Returning to Texas
Quinn Ewers’ decision to return to Texas for the 2024 college football season sent shockwaves across the sports world. With Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian declaring Ewers the undisputed starting quarterback, questions arise about the future of highly anticipated prospect Arch Manning. Will he consider the transfer portal now that he’s likely to remain a backup? Eli Manning, Arch’s uncle and former NFL quarterback, firmly advocates for him to stay put.
In a recent interview with Zach Gelb, Eli Manning dismissed the idea of Arch entering the transfer portal. Manning emphasized that Arch chose Texas because it aligns with his desires and ambitions. Despite the setback of potentially being a backup for another season, Eli believes that staying at Texas offers invaluable opportunities for growth and development. Manning highlights the benefits of another year for Arch to mature, familiarize himself with the offense, and physically strengthen in the weight room.

While Arch was initially positioned behind Ewers and Maalik Murphy during his redshirt season, Murphy’s transfer to Duke opens up the role of Texas’s No. 2 quarterback for Arch next season. Eli Manning underscores the importance of patience and continuous learning, asserting that the ease of transferring shouldn’t overshadow the value of perseverance and preparation.
Eli’s confidence in Arch’s decision to stay in Texas stems from a belief in the long-term benefits of staying the course. Despite the natural inclination to want immediate playing time, Eli encourages Arch to embrace the opportunity for further development behind Ewers, emphasizing that patience and perseverance can ultimately pay dividends in his football journey.
