Although fans and analysts are all in on Manning, an anonymous SEC coach recently told ESPN's Heather Dinich that Manning will have a hard time living up to the hype. "He's going to be a good player," said the SEC coach. "The hype that it's been, it's impossible to reach."

Arch Manning enters his third year under Steve Sarkisian as the lead signal caller for the Longhorns. While there is a ton of hype that comes with his name, some earned and some not, there is one specific part of his game the Longhorns hope will be an area of improvement compared to previous seasons.

No player will be under a bigger spotlight during the 2025 college football season than Texas quarterback Arch Manning, and SEC coaches know it.

Texas A&M legend Johnny Manziel offered advice to Arch Manning while admitting he wants the Longhorns quarterback to struggle when he faces the Aggies in November.
