The quarterback position at the University of Texas has been a talking point the last couple of weeks. The Longhorns secured a commitment from the number one passer in the 2022 class, Quinn Ewers. Shortly thereafter, Jalen Milroe bolted for Alabama. Most recently they replaced Milroe with an Iowa State commit in Charles Wright, who plays right here in Austin.
While it seems the 2021 and 2022 quarterback situation is locked up for now, focus begins to turn towards the 2023 class. Offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich will look to start getting his style of quarterbacks. Milroe mentioned not being “his guy” and it seems Yurcich prefers the pro style over dual threat passers. Much the reason they went after Ewers.
The Longhorns have offered both of the top quarterbacks on the 247Sports class rankings. One is the top quarterback in California in Malachi Nelson and the other has a NFL legacy attached to him. Arch Manning is going to get a lot of attention, he comes from a quarterback family so it was in his blood to throw the pigskin. Yurcich isn’t afraid to go big game hunting when it comes to the man leading his system on the field.
First we look at the kid with NFL bloodlines, Arch Manning.
