Ahead of Arch Manning’s first season as Texas’ full-time starting quarterback, speculation has swirled about whether the former No. 1 overall recruit could declare for the 2026 NFL Draft

Wide receiver Travis Smith and linebacker Jaeden Harmon recently volunteered their time and money to the Wesley House of Knoxville, each donating $5,000 in NIL to the community center. The Wesley House provides childcare and help for senior citizens.

Manning's revelation is largely unsurprising to those who have closely followed Arch’s recruitment and college career.
