Manning completed 61.8% of his throws for 3,163 yards, 26 scores and seven interceptions over 13 games for the Longhorns in 2025. He also ran for 399 yards and 10 scores during his redshirt sophomore campaign.
Manning, Oregon's Dante Moore, Baylor's D.J. Lagway and Ohio State's Julian Sayin are expected to be among the top quarterback prospects in the 2027 NFL Draft.
The Longhorns will host Texas State in their 2026 opener Sept. 5 in Austin. They will host Sayin and the Buckeyes on Sept. 12 at Darrrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.
