If Texas gets Quinn Ewers, will they lose the Arch Manning sweepstakes?

Ohio State full-back Quinn Ewers is entering the transfer window with Texas as a top choice. But can Longhorn miss out on Arch Manning if they get Ewers?

Quinn Ewers stunned the college football world on Friday night as a quarterback for the Ohio State team go to the transfer port after the No. 1 player from 2021 spent a year with the Buckeyes and never got to play. That, of course, is easy to explain since his late arrival on the show left him lagging behind on a crowded depth chart.

But now, the player from the South, TX is about to choose the next destination for his college football.

Luckily, we already had some idea of ​​where Ewers would be looking when reports indicated that Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech are all under consideration, which again makes sense for the Texas kid. However, the Longhorns may be the most appealing option.

With that said, however, burnt orange loyalists must wonder if Quinn Ewers’ landing has affected the chances of another great white whale, the top player of the game. 2023, midfielder Arch Manning or not.

Texas Soccer: Will Quinn Ewers Transfer Mean Missing Arch Manning?

There’s a belief around the college football recruiting world that Texas is currently leading the way in sweepstakes at Arch Manning, which will be a huge draw for the Longhorns because of the caller’s signal from the family. The royal midfielder seems to be a generational talent.

That being said, Ewers has the potential to change that. If he moves to Texas from Ohio State, his rights laureate will have at least two years of eligibility to be a starter for the Longhorns. That means he’ll start in 2023 when Manning will be on the show if he chooses Texas.

Considering his recruiting pedigree, it’s safe to say that Arch Manning is looking forward to making an immediate pitch. Then, if Texas wants Ewers, that could stop the 2023 top employer from signing with the Longhorns and prompt him to look elsewhere.

That would be very unfortunate, but at the same time, you know what could also affect Texas’ chances? Not very good at football. And adding Ewers will ensure that they elevate the talent in the most important positions on the pitch, which obviously makes their chances of success much higher.

It’s a complicated question involving Ewers and Manning, but at the end of the day, head coach Steve Sarkisian isn’t qualified to ask it. If he has a chance to land Quinn Ewers, he should do it. The transfer could be the spark he needs to give his era at the helm of the show a significant start.
