There’s so much speculation about Texas quarterback Arch Manning’s future, in the media and even within his own family, that it can be hard for him to keep up.

Marcel Reed will be the undisputed No. 1 quarterback from the start for the Aggies this season while he still continues to grow into the role.

This week, Reed was named to the annual Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award watch list, which has yet again proven that the national media has much more belief in his skill set heading into the 2025 season. No. 19 Texas A&M will open the 2025 season against UTSA on Saturday, August 30. The game will air at 6:30 p.m. on ESPN.

Revenge, redemption and eager anticipation have been feelings that have surrounded a Week 3 rematch with Notre Dame for Texas A&M football. Still, the question

Texas quarterback Arch Manning took the time to respond to a comment made by his grandfather, Archie, who said he believed his grandson wouldn't enter the 2026 NFL Draft.

Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning is almost certainly the No. 1 discussion point and most recognizable name among this year’s crop of college football players. But according to ESPN, that does not make him the projected best player in the country.

Weigman transferred to Houston this offseason and Reed went to work on improving to help No. 19 Texas A&M take another step this year in the second season under coach Mike Elko. Reed attended the Manning Passing Academy this summer, learning from Hall of Famer Peyton Manning and his brother and NFL veteran Eli Manning.

Texas starts the season ranked No. 1 for the first time in program history and a betting favorite to win the national championship. Arch Manning takes over at quarterback and is just about everyone’s early favorite for the Heisman Trophy.

Oregon State football and head coach Trent Bray have announced that Texas and Duke transfer Maalik Murphy is the starter for Week One.
