Paul Finebaum Has Three Words for Arch Manning After Interaction With Another SEC QB originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Arch Manning maintains an impressive persona off the field as the media attention surrounding his football career continues to grow ahead of him becoming the Texas Longhorns' full-time starting quarterback.

Manning's collegiate body of work is still pretty small. His career numbers read as follows: 63 completions, 95 attempts, 969 yards and 9 TDs, 2 INTs

Manning has been the backup to Quinn Ewers for the past two seasons. With Ewers heading to the NFL, it’s now time for the Manning era to begin. On “The Paul Finebaum Show,” the SEC Network analyst shared that he has never witnessed anything like Manning’s popularity at SEC Media Days.

Arch Manning and the Texas Longhorns are heading into the 2025 college football season as one of the top contenders in the nation. Many believe that the Longhorns are the team to beat in the SEC. It is also widely believed that Manning will be a legitimate contender to win the Heisman Trophy.

By the time Texas football Coach Steve Sarkisian made it to the microphone, accompanied by the playing of Texas A&M's "Aggie War Hymn," a crowd was gathering.

The SEC features the nation's best batch of quarterbacks, and the No. 1 player requires no introduction. But there lots of depth after Arch Manning.

When it comes to elite quarterback talent in college football, the SEC flexes several Heisman Trophy candidates and future franchise players at the position in 2025. The league highlighted several of the conference's top expected passers this week at SEC Media Days as they represented a number of likely preseason top 25 teams.
