Steve Sarkisian suggests Arch Manning could return to Texas in 2027

Texas coach Steve Sarkisian expressed that he wouldn't be surprised if quarterback Arch Manning chooses to return to college for the 2027 season. Manning, currently preparing for his junior season, aims to lead the Longhorns to a national championship. Sarkisian emphasized the benefits of continued development and experience in the program. Manning previously threw for over 3,000 yards and 26 touchdowns in his first season as a starter, contributing to Texas’ 9-3 record last year. The decision may hinge on individual performance and team success this fall before potential entry into the NFL Draft.
