Texas quarterback Arch Manning and running back Cedric Baxter were among the Longhorns signing autographs ahead of the Orange-White spring game on Saturday.
The freshman duo of Manning and Baxter are two players Texas fans are eager to see take the field.
Manning is competing well with Quinn Ewers and Maailk Murphy in spring ball. Steve Sarkisian has praised Manning for his work ethic and efforts thus far.
“But what he does have, that I think is somewhere in the Manning DNA, this guy loves football. He works at football. We practice in the morning, that evening he wants to already be up here watching every one of his plays. He works at his craft. He wants to be great. There’s no doubt about it. And I think that’s why he came here.”
Baxter is quickly turning heads in the running back room. The five-star’s talent is catching the eye of his teammates and coaches, so much so he is earning some first-team reps. Baxter is a prime candidate to have an early impact in the Longhorns backfield in 2023.
