Texas has been crowned the No. 1 team in the AP Top 25 poll, and quarterback Arch Manning has been named the favorite to win the Heisman trophy heading into the 2025 season, which begins for the Longhorns on Saturday.
Through two seasons, Manning has just two starts to his name. Even so, the expectations are high for him and Texas as he enters his first full season as a starter. From being a Heisman favorite to future mock drafts already projecting him as a No. 1 pick in the NFL draft, he is viewed as the next great Manning at quarterback.
