Outside of making a couple starts for the Longhorns while Ewers was out due to injury, Arch has patiently waited in the wings for his opportunity to start. Arch's Hall of Fame uncle, Peyton Manning, actually believes this could be an advantage for Arch as he takes over the reigns as the starter.

Peyton Manning tells Pat McAfee he's excited to watch Arch Manning hit the field for the Longhorns after seeing him throw at camp.

For the last 29 years, the Manning family has organized an instructional event for high school quarterbacks. The Manning Passing Academy has been held on the campus of Nicholls State University for the past 20 years, and the top quarterbacks in the college game are annually invited to serve as camp counselors.
