UGA Recruiting: Why Did Arch Manning Choose Texas?


“I think it goes back to his relationship with Sark and his quarterback development over the years and the offense that he runs,” Chad Simmons of On3 said. “I’ve said for the beginning, I think he had the best relationship with any coach with Steve Sarkisian. I think him being the head coach, the offensive mind, quarterback developer, I think that is really what put Texas over the top.”

“First off, I think, as a student, he loves the University of Texas,” On3;s Gerry Hamilton said. “He loves Austin. He loves that he can not be the biggest name in Austin. You have the Elon Musks of the world, the Joe Rogans of the world, Matthew McConaughey versus smaller college towns where he might have been the most popular guy.”
