However, Sarkisian made it clear that with Ewers off to the NFL, it is Manning's time to shine. The Manning era at Texas officially begins on Aug. 30 at Ohio State in a rematch of the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Cotton Bowl, a game that will certainly draw millions of eyeballs.

Sarkisian discussed Manning’s future as the Longhorns QB, Quinn Ewers’ NFL prospects and which Longhorns could show out at the NFL Combine.

During an appearance on the Up and Adams Show, Sarkisian officially confirmed Arch Manning will be the starting quarterback for Texas in 2025, in perhaps what is the least surprising news of the college football offseason.

While the Texas offense will remain the same, the way in which it is called will look different with Arch Manning under center.
