It might be the easy road for Arch Manning to transfer out of Texas, but his uncle thinks that's a big no-no.

Manning, the nephew of both Peyton and Eli, and the grandson of Archie, will once again sit behind Quinn Ewers, despite being one of the most highly touted prospects out of high school.

Head coach Steve Sarkisian announced earlier this week that with Ewers forgoing the NFL Draft for another season, the rising junior will start.

Arch said he has not "looked into transferring at all," and the New York Giants legend says that should remain the case.

"He picked Texas because that’s where he wants to be," Eli said of Arch on CBS Sports Radio. "That’s where he wants to play football. He likes Coach Sarkisian and his offense and what they’re doing. . . .

"Obviously, the plan was maybe Ewers would go into the NFL," Eli continued. "But he’s there. It’s another year for Arch to mature, learn an offense, get bigger, stronger in the weight room and always be prepared to play. You never know what’s gonna happen."

"He’s gotta be ready. If not, then he gets some playing time here and there, and he’s got three more years of eligibility at a great school, at a great football program on the rise. The fact that you can transfer so easily now doesn’t mean you should do it, just because you’re not playing right away. . .
