Arch Manning continues strong camp, provides electric moment in first Texas scrimmage

Texas freshman quarterback Arch Manning continues to impress during preseason camp.

According to Gerry Hamilton of Inside Texas, Manning showed off his legs during Saturday’s scrimmage. Yes, Manning is known more for his arm, but he is also a threat to make plays with his legs.

“Texas’ first scrimmage of the fall here today and Arch Manning, he got loose,” Hamilton said during a scrimmage recap video. “He scored on a 50-plus yard touchdown run. I mean we’ve heard different numbers on how far that touchdown run was, but yea, he scored from 50-plus yards out. And he continues a strong fall camp.”

While Manning’s best play on Saturday was with his legs, he has also made plenty of impressive throws this spring.

According to Hamilton, one of the best attributes Manning has is his ability to find different receivers.

“The one thing with Arch is Steve Sarkisian is talking about spreading the football around, right. And we keep hearing that Arch is really ahead of the game in that regard,” Hamilton said. “And look, he’s a Manning, we expect him to be. But yea, Arch Manning had a really big moment for a young kid in the scrimmage today.”

Bobby Burton of Inside Texas added that it’s not as if Manning is pushing Quinn Ewers for the starting job, but he is certainly turning some heads this preseason.

“The reality of it is that Arch is ahead of schedule, and at the same time he’s still a freshman,” Burton said. “So let’s not talk about him overtaking Quinn Ewers or anything like that. There might be a battle for the No. 2 job. I’m not disputing that. But the No. 1 job is Quinn Ewers.”
