Arch Manning's Mom Reveals His Private Struggles at Texas originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's not always rainbows and butterflies for Texas quarterback Arch Manning.

From the time that Arch Manning committed to Texas three years ago as the top prospect in the Class of 2023, it was always a question of when, and not if, he would emerge as the Longhorns' starter. Most players of his caliber don't typically have to wait long, especially when they belong to the greatest quarterbacking bloodline in football history.

As the No. 1 overall recruit in the 2023 class, Arch Manning held offers from some of the biggest programs in college football. Powerhouses such as Ole Miss, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Notre Dame all made pushes for him, but when it came time to make a decision, the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning chose the Texas Longhorns.
