ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum has made a bold statement, saying he’s convinced that Arch Manning is on track to become the greatest quarterback at Texas since the legendary Colt McCoy. Finebaum believes Manning has all the tools — elite arm talent, football IQ, and poise under pressure — to elevate the Longhorns program back to national prominence. He’s been impressed by Arch’s growth since arriving in Austin, noting how the young quarterback has handled the massive expectations that come with the famous Manning family name.

Finebaum emphasized that Arch isn’t just riding on his last name; he’s showing genuine leadership and work ethic that has won over teammates and coaches alike. According to Finebaum, Manning has the rare mix of talent and humility that could make him a transformational figure for Texas football. He even suggested that with Arch at the helm, the Longhorns have the potential to dominate the SEC and become perennial College Football Playoff contenders, much like Alabama or Georgia.

Looking ahead, Finebaum predicts that if Manning continues on this trajectory, he could not only break school records but also put Texas back on the map as a quarterback powerhouse. He compared the excitement around Arch to the Colt McCoy era, when the Longhorns were national title contenders and feared across the country. For Texas fans, Finebaum’s endorsement is another reason to believe that a new era of Longhorn dominance is just beginning — all hinging on Arch Manning’s rise to greatness.
