Arch Manning is expected to be the next Tim Tebow of college football, at least according to Paul Finebaum. The Texas quarterback is the No. 1 Heisman Trophy candidate, and Finebaum considers him the best currently.<\/p>\n

While Manning enjoys the top position at the Heisman trophy odds, many also project him to be the no.1 pick in the NFL draft, whichever one he may declare for.<\/p>\n

Many analysts predict that the Longhorns QB will just spend one year at Texas and will declare for the 2026 NFL Draft, while others believe he will stay another year under Steve Sarkisian\u2019s wing.<\/p>\n

Now that Arch\u2019s granddad Archie Manning told Texas Monthly that his grandson has no plans to declare for the NFL Draft this year and will stay at Texas, Colin Cowherd believes it\u2019s bad business for the Longhorns star.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what you have to say. But if he beats\u00a0Ohio State<\/strong>\u00a0in Columbus, wins the Heisman or doesn\u2019t, and gets into the national championship game, it\u2019d be really bad business to stay in college. And I know almost every Manning pretty well \u2014 they\u2019re good at business, and they say the right thing when they have to,\u201d Cowherd said Thursday. \u201c\u2026 Arch Manning made $6.5 million last year at Texas in NIL, reportedly.\u00a0Cam Ward<\/strong> made $48.7 million guaranteed (as the) No. 1 pick (in the 2025 NFL Draft). Arch, can I interest you in a $42 million loan? Hook what? Yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the classic Mannings saying the right thing. \u2026 The Manning family is American football royalty. So this is exactly what you say. \u2026 Arch Manning, if he\u2019s as good as I think he is, he\u2019s got to go pro.\u201d Cowherd added.<\/p>\n

Colin Cowherd Predicts Arch Manning-Nick Saban NFL Union<\/p>\n

In one of his previous podcasts released on July 23rd,, Cowherd made a bold prediction about the ex Alabama head coach Nick Saban potentially returning to coaching for the NFL, and especially the Cleveland Browns, along with an Arch Manning addition.<\/p>\n

He called this theory the \u201cworst kept secret\u201d<\/a> in the south as he talked about Jimmy Haslam\u2019s close ties with both Saban and the Manning family.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaslam circle of trust, according to an article in the Athletic last year, is the Manning family and Jimmy Sexton and Bill Parcells. Sexton is Nick Saban\u2019s agent, so the Mannings are royalty in New Orleans, the Children\u2019s Hospital in New Orleans. It\u2019s called the Manning\u2019s Children\u2019s Hospital, and the Mannings are royalty to Jimmy Haslam. Jimmy Haslam also loves headlines.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arch Manning will kickoff the 2025 college football season against Ohio State as a year one starter in Columbus.<\/p>\n
