Longhorns Daily News: Texas QB Arch Manning named candidate for Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award

The Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Educational Foundation has identified Texas quarterback Arch Manning as one of fifteen finalists for the annual award, which recognizes the top upperclassman signal caller in college football. Manning, a fourth-year player and returning starter, advanced from an initial preseason watch list that included 27 candidates.

The Longhorns program has a notable history with this specific honor. In 2024, Quinn Ewers reached the top ten candidates, while Colt McCoy claimed the title in 2009, a season that coincided with Texas's final national championship game appearance before a loss to Alabama.
