7 quarterbacks not named Arch Manning college football fans should know

Steve Sarkisian said to Arch Manning that he should "go be you" regarding the QB’s start against Ohio State. Jason McIntyre doesn’t know how good Manning will be for Texas, and asks if he’ll live up to the hype surrounding him.

There is a tremendous amount of hype around Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning going into the 2025 season – and rightfully so.

Manning has all the intangibles any college football coach would want in a quarterback in today’s game. Plus, he has the famous football name on the back of his jersey. He’s also not going to back down from a challenge as Texas gets ready to take on the defending national champion Ohio State Buckeyes to kick off the 2025 season.

Fans can get lost in the hype over one player and forget there are several other quarterbacks who are very good and even better than Manning.

Garrett Nussmeier has shown exactly what he can bring to the table for Brian Kelly’s offense. He threw for 4,502 passing yards and 29 touchdown passes last season as LSU went 9-4 and won the Texas Bowl over Baylor.

This year, the pressure is a bit stronger. Nussmeier has shown flashes of being a star quarterback but putting together wins in one of the toughest conferences in the nation is something he’ll have to focus on moving forward this year.

His first challenge? Oh, just No. 4 Clemson.
