Clemson QB Cade Klubnik commends Arch Manning, Garrett Nussmeier, Drew Allar and Ty Simpson for not entering the transfer portal. Manning will start for the Texas Longhorns this year after serving as Quinn Ewers' backup for the past two.

From the time that Arch Manning committed to Texas three years ago as the top prospect in the Class of 2023, it was always a question of when, and not if, he would emerge as the Longhorns' starter. Most players of his caliber don't typically have to wait long, especially when they belong to the greatest quarterbacking bloodline in football history.

As the No. 1 overall recruit in the 2023 class, Arch Manning held offers from some of the biggest programs in college football. Powerhouses such as Ole Miss, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Notre Dame all made pushes for him, but when it came time to make a decision, the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning chose the Texas Longhorns.
