Quinn Ewers Named Texas Starting QB Over Arch Manning

  • Quinn Ewers clinched the starting quarterback role for Texas after an impressive performance in the team's spring game, though Arch Manning, the nation's top recruit, struggled in his college debut.
  • Redshirt freshman Maalik Murphy also outperformed Manning and showed flashes of promise in the spring game.
  • Manning received criticism from fans for failing to live up to the hype in his first unofficial college game, though coach Steve Sarkisian said Manning still has time to develop.
  • Ewers, the former No. 1 overall recruit, has improved physically and mentally since last season and looked poised and efficient in the spring game.
  • Sarkisian said he wants a competitive quarterback room and believes Manning will continue to improve with time and experience in college football.
