Texas Longhorns\u00a0<\/a>quarterback <\/span>Arch Manning<\/span><\/a> is expected to declare for the\u00a0<\/span>NFL Draft<\/a>\u00a0after the 2026 season, but let’s not forget he has two years of eligibility left.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian<\/a> isn’t ruling out the possibility that the QB, who’s entering his junior season, uses both.\u00a0<\/p>\n “You know, we haven’t had that discussion, but I will tell you, I would not be surprised,” Sarkisian said Monday on the “Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams.” “I think Arch really loves college football, I really do. I think he loves the University of Texas, you know he does pretty good through NIL [name, image and likeness], you know, he’s got some pretty good endorsements right now, which is a credit to him. And obviously, the lineage of the last name and the brand of the University of Texas, all those things coming together, but again, on the same token, I wouldn’t be surprised if he declares and decides to go to the draft.” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The advent of NIL has decreased pressure on players to turn pro early.\u00a0On3 estimates<\/a> Manning is raking in $5.4M in NIL deals, No. 1 among all college athletes in the site’s database.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nSteve Sarkisian hints Arch Manning could return for 2027 season\u00a0<\/h2>\n
