Texas Football: 3 implications of Arch Manning committing to Longhorns

Arch Manning committing to Texas football sent ripples through the college football landscape. Here are three implications of that pledge. 

The third generation of the first family of football has chosen where he will play college football. Arch Manning, son of Cooper, nephew of Peyton and Eli, and grandson of Archie, committed to Texas football. The younger Manning has long been the No. 1 player in the 2023 recruiting class.

Arch is a rare combination of elite talent, pedigree, and seemingly limitless potential. The Isidore Newman product threw for over 6,000 yards and 81 touchdowns in three seasons, showing his talent. The pedigree is evident; he could throw to his father Cooper, a great wide receiver until an injury robbed him of his career.

His uncles, two of the best quarterbacks of their generation, could tutor him on how to prepare and watch game film. Arch is an elite athlete who is four times the runner Eli and Peyton ever were; he got those wheels from grandad.

The 6-foot-4, 215-pound signal-caller is among the few players to receive a perfect 1.000 rating from  247Sports. Ironically enough, Vince Young and Quinn Ewers are the only other quarterbacks to receive the rating.

What does Manning going to Texas mean for the teams he jilted?
