Texas’s Arch Manning has continued to turn down jaw-dropping offer of $12.5 million from top programs like Alabama, Georgia and LSU declaring his loyalty and commitment to Texas. Arch Manning on staying at Texas: “Sometimes patience pays off.”

After serving as Quinn Ewers’ backup for two seasons, **Arch Manning** is now officially the starting quarterback for **Texas**. On Thursday, Manning opened up about his decision to stay with the Longhorns instead of transferring to another program where he could have played immediately.

Manning admitted that the decision was challenging, especially in today’s world where instant playing time is often pursued. However, he expressed confidence that his patience would eventually pay off. He stated that there was no other place he would rather be than Texas, highlighting his strong connections with his teammates and his love for the university.

The redshirt sophomore emphasized his commitment to becoming Texas’ quarterback, reinforcing that waiting for his opportunity was the right choice for him. Manning believes that sometimes it’s worth enduring the wait for the chance to achieve something meaningful and fulfilling in the long run.

Despite being the **No. 1 QB** in the 2023 recruiting class, Manning’s early career at Texas saw him limited to only two appearances during his freshman year. He spent most of that season as the third-string quarterback, behind Ewers and fellow QB **Maalik Murphy**.
