Arch Manning gives epic answer to question about transfer portal calendar

When asked about the Transfer Portal calendar, Texas QB Arch Manning gave a great answer that should make Longhorns fans feel great.

Since he arrived in Austin, people have been asking Arch Manning if he is going to stay at Texas or transfer. It is hard for many in the media to believe a player as talented as Manning would sit and wait his turn behind Quinn Ewers.

It appears Manning will be the starter in 2025. Quinn Ewers seems poised to leave the Longhorns after the 2024 season is over, be it to the NFL or through a transfer to another school.

But Manning continues to be asked about transferring and even the transfer portal. In Atlanta, ahead of the Peach Bowl CFP quarterfinal against Arizona State, Manning had a crowed of reporters around his table at Media Day.

The redshirt freshman was asked if he thought any changes should be made to the transfer portal calendar. The transfer portal window before the postseason has been a hot topic of discussion. Manning replied, “I mean, I have no plans on entering the portal or anything, so I don’t really know about it, about the whole window thing. I don’t know. I’m probably the wrong guy to ask.”

Manning has been called part of the “future of football” by Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt and ESPN’s Paul Finebaum says Manning will win the Heisman before he’s done at Texas.

Manning will probably play in the Peach Bowl in similar short-yardage situations he’s been entering the game in over the last few games. Manning says, “I’m just trying to do what I can to help the team win in any way.”
