Austin, Texas - Will Arch Manning score a Heisman nod during the 2024 season?

The 2023 college football season is still in full swing, as Texas is gearing up for a crucial showdown against Washington in the Sugar Bowl, a College Football Playoff (CFP) Semifinal.

Although anything can happen in the remaining game ahead, Manning's season as a third-string quarterback is wrapping up.

As it's unclear whether starting QB Quinn Ewers will enter the NFL Draft or stay at Texas, there's a chance Manning could find himself in a starting role next year.

The idea of Arch Manning taking the starting position next year isn't far-fetched. Surprises happen - like Alabama securing a Playoff spot this year after a disappointing loss to LSU.

Quinn Ewers' decision to return to Texas or not for the 2024 season will have a huge ripple effect on the quarterback scene at Texas, impacting Arch Manning and potentially shaping the 2024 Heisman race.

If Ewers returns, the experienced quarterback will likely be a Heisman front-runner and retain his starting position with the Longhorns.

This decision might also sway the plans of current Texas backup QB Maalik Murphy, who is set to be a redshirt sophomore next season. If Ewers comes back, Murphy could find himself in the same backup role again.

However the chips fall, there's a chance for Manning to move up the QB ranks and become the backup starter.

Yet if Ewers takes off for the NFL Draft, Manning will have a good shot at becoming the Longhorns' starter and a major player to watch as a Heisman contender.

The Texas Longhorns will face Washington in the Sugar Bowl on January 1 at 8:45 PM ET.
