Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian has expressed interest in extending quarterback Arch Manning's stay at the university for another season. [1] While this would allow Manning to potentially play in the 2026 and 2027 fall seasons, it is not yet clear if he has the desire or commitment to do so. The Texas Longhorns have a history of wanting Manning to remain with the team after his freshman year. In 2019, Manning was considered for an early departure from college football due to concerns about his health and performance. [1] However, he ultimately decided to stay at Texas and has since developed into one of the top quarterbacks in the country. Despite this interest, there is no guarantee that Manning will return for another season. His decision would depend on a variety of factors including his personal goals, the team's needs, and his own health concerns. [1]
