Overview

  • Arch Manning enters fall camp as the undisputed Texas starter after two seasons learning behind Quinn Ewers.
  • He flashed his dual-threat upside last year with a 67-yard rushing touchdown against UTSA, underscoring his mobility.
  • DeAndre Moore Jr. returns as a veteran slot receiver and will add punt-return duties to his expanded responsibilities.
  • Moore said Manning brings “super wheels” and sharper throw zip compared with Ewers’s “baby wheels” and lofted passes.
  • Moore has set ambitious season goals, targeting 1,200 yards, a Texas touchdown record, the Biletnikoff Award and conference and national titles.
