In all likelihood, Arch Manning would probably be staying in Texas. However, there are still doubts that he would be staying in Austin after the Longhorns failed to make the College Football Playoffs this year.
While analysts believe that him leaving is unlikely, the rumors are still going strong. So, in the scenario that he does decide to leave, where should Arch Manning go?
5 Destinations Arch Manning Could End Up In Should He Leave Texas
Indiana Hoosiers
The Indiana Hoosiers are the best team in college football right now. Next year, however, they are expected to lose quarterback and Heisman favorite Fernando Mendoza, who is slated to enter the NFL draft in 2026 and may possibly get picked No. 1 overall. With Manning possibly wanting to go to a contender, one that is looking for a new QB1, Indiana might be a good choice for him.
North Carolina Tar Heels
Bill Belichick may not have had a good season in his college debut, but it should be noted that he did not have a good enough quarterback, as he did with the New England Patriots, winning a record six Super Bowl rings with Tom Brady. Arch Manning, should he leave Texas, could be his next Tom Brady, especially as Belichick is known for producing possibly the greatest quarterback of all time, so he could be a boon to Manning.
Florida Gators
After a coaching change, DJ Lagway wants out, and the Florida Gators are now in rebuilding mode. With Lagway about to enter the transfer portal, the Gators could be a prime target for Manning to transfer to, though him turning it to a playoff team might not be instant. That being said, this may be a team he could have a massive impact on.
LSU Tigers
Arch Manning’s good friend, Garrett Nussmeier, is expected to graduate from LSU after this season, and with a new coach in Lane Kiffin, this could be a great place for the quarterback to land on. Kiffin has shown he could develop great quarterbacks during his time at Ole Miss, and Arch Manning could just be the key piece he needs.
Texas Tech Red Raiders
Sure, the Red Raiders may be an in-state rival, but if Manning wants to be in a contender team that may be looking for a replacement quarterback after their senior QB1 graduates, then Texas Tech may be his answer.
