The Texas Longhorns are set to host multiple program changing players over the next few days. Most notably, top quarterback Arch Manning, talented receiver Jaquaize Pettaway, and Hewitt-Trussville (AL) edge rusher Hunter Osborne.
The pitch for Manning is simple: Arch can play for offensive guru Steve Sarkisian and carve a legacy at Texas.
Texas hired Sarkisian for these moments. Sarkisian is adept at getting quarterbacks drafted early. Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart, Jake Locker, Mark Sanchez, Tua Tagovailoa, and Mac Jones are a few of the quarterbacks Sarkisian has gotten drafted early.
Manning can see the offense Georgia runs. Sarkisian does not have to negatively recruit the Bulldogs. All Sarkisian has to do is present his coaching track record alongside Texas football’s history of excellence. The recruiting pitch sells itself.
Manning, like Quinn Ewers, has a statue waiting for him if he can help turn the program around. Texas will give its best pitch this weekend.
