Quinn Ewers is returning to Texas next season, as the Longhorns look to build on their College Football Playoff appearance. However, Ewers’s return likely means Arch Manning will once again serve as a backup instead of taking the reins as Texas’s starting quarterback.
Manning has said he didn’t plan to transfer even if Ewers opted to return, a sentiment that squashed the dreams of fans whose teams need a new quarterback.
“Obviously there’s always rumors, especially nowadays,” Manning said before the Sugar Bowl. “I haven’t looked into transferring at all. I’m just focused on developing and helping this team any way I can and hopefully one day playing for the University of Texas like I’ve always wanted to.”
