Texas quarterback Arch Manning is poised for his first full season as a starter, attracting attention reminiscent of past stars. Despite having only started two games and accumulating 250 snaps, his family legacy and talent have built significant hype. Manning acknowledged the expectations placed upon him, expressing humility about his current achievements. He has deep roots in the SEC, with family ties to the conference enhancing his connection to it. His first game against Ohio State promises to be a challenging debut in a high-stakes environment.
Manning has started two games for the Longhorns and has 250 snaps so far in his career, meaning there's a disconnect between production and expectations. But college football has long been fueled by emotion, and Manning's pedigree, recruiting hype and the flashes of talent he's shown on the field at Texas have yielded a frenzy.
'It means everything,' Manning said. 'I mean, my family has played in SEC, I grew up going to SEC games wanting to be a part of it. So now getting to represent at SEC media day, it's kind of a dream. I know I haven't done anything in the SEC yet, but that's the goal.'
