Ahead of Arch Manning’s first season as Texas’ full-time starting quarterback, speculation has swirled about whether the former No. 1 overall recruit could declare for the 2026 NFL Draft

Regardless of whether Arch Manning remains in college for his senior season, next year’s draft is considered deep at quarterback. Clemson’s Cade Klubnik, LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier, South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers and Penn State’s Drew Allar are among the top prospects.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, a close friend of the Manning family, was apparently speaking the truth when he said he didn’t expect quarterback Arch Manning to leave Texas after this season, his first full year as a starter. Manning’s grandfather, Archie, said the same thing.
