Arch Manning scores on 34-yard run as Newman wins in preseason

Arch Manning with an impressive run in a preseason prep Jamboree game

One of — the? — most heralded recruits in Texas Longhorn history was back at it on the prep scene Friday.

Arch Manning and Newman faced De La Salle in a Jamboree game and came out on top, 20-13. The teams played for two periods of 15 minutes each.

Manning was 6-of-12 passing for 81 yards and an interception.

He fared better with his legs, including a 34-yard touchdown run on a third-and-20 midway through the final quarter to make it 20-6 after the PAT.

Per Nola.com:

“He can do those things,” Newman coach Nelson Stewart said. “(People) just want to talk about his arm. His ability to run, being a senior and being decisive, that’s the difference.”

Manning attempted only two passes in the second half, the final one for a gain of 6 yards to tight end Will Randle. The pair of Texas commitments connected for three passes and 41 yards.

Newman open the season next week at Hahnville.
