Plus: Texas WBB beat Texas A&M over the weekend
So why did Arch Manning land with the Texas Longhorns a couple years back?
Manning explained himself during a recent sit-down interview with ESPN.
“There are a few reasons. I liked Coach [Steve Sarkisian] a lot from the jump. Austin was a good spot for me. There’s so much to do here,” Manning said, per Inside Texas. “And then, most importantly, I think I wanted to go somewhere where, you know, maybe they haven’t been as good the past few years, and were kind of on the rise. Kind of wanted to bring Texas back.”
It’s safe to say Manning has played a role in bringing Texas back, too.
