We All know Arch most likely isn't coming out, unless it's a Dream National Championship/Heisman season.  Even then it's no sure bet depending on the team.

And Dallas is NOT bad enough, even if Dak got hurt game 1, to get the 1st overall pick.

If they knew how to lose to get a better draft pick they wouldn't have won 4 meaningless games in november/december last year.

the arch going pro hype will be loud and frequent 

if the right team has the #1, it'll be interesting 

He's not coming out unless we're a bunch of happy drunk longhorn fans after the title game AND the situation is right.

Eligibility up or need a miracle to come back:  Campbell, Hill, Taaffe, Guilbeau, Burke, Moore, Hutson, Brevard, Shaw, Kanu, (7 drafted)

3 years in- draft eligible:  Spence, Wisner, Goosby, Moore Jr., Baxter, Colton Vasek, McDonald, Spence, Arch, Lefau, Neto, Robertson (3 drafted)

Double digits, just barely.  Lowside I have 7 going, high side, like winning a national title, Arch saying bye and everyone deciding to go out on a high note?  Could see as many as 16.  Imma say 10

You left off Muhammad, who is probably gone barring injury. Also Endries, the new TE, has another year but could go with a big year. You listed Spence twice. I think Kanu belongs in your second list.

You also left off a bunch of Sophs that redshirted: Shannon, Randle, Stroh, Chatman, Cojoe, Lavon Johnson, Roberson, and Derek Williams. In practice I don't see any of those guys getting drafted. Maaaaaaaaybe Williams if he ends up playing a bunch and well.

The new kicker and punter could conceivably get drafted. Two kickers and one punter were drafted this year.

I'll say 10: Hutson, Campbell, Burke, Brevard, Moore, Guilbeau, Taaffe, Moore Jr., Muhammad, and Hill. The rest of the juniors, Arch, and Goosby stick around. Shaw redshirts to get fully healthy. No UDFAs (except the P and K).

Derek Williams is a good catch. The rest of those guys aren’t going but should have been on there. 
just blanked on Muhammad, he’d be only hill need a miracle to come back category.

How many times over the next year will we have to point out that Arch won't be in the draft?

Is he even eligible to be drafted the same year he portals?

cbs mock draft 

1. New Orleans Saints: Arch Manning, QB, Texas

3. New York Giants: Anthony Hill Jr., LB, Texas

25. Cincinnati Bengals: CJ Baxter, RB, Texas

27. Los Angeles Rams: Malik Muhammad, CB, Texas

Yeah, I think if saints had the top pick and arch was consensus #1, he'd have to be tempted.

arch declaring for the draft hype will be much louder than the arch preseason hype

i hope he has a big season 

Sure, me too, but someone actually putting him in the 1st round of a 2026 mock draft before he is even cleared for activity is ludicrous.

An overwhelming projected #1 pick is gone unless they absolutely hate the top several teams in the draft order.

For a "normal" prospect, that's true. Arch isn't a normal prospect.

3 players- Clemson, Oregon

2 players- Texas, South Carolina, Ohio State, Bama, Florida, LSU, Miami

This seems to be more spread out in the past. Typically you'd see Ohio State, Bama, or Georgia with 5 players in these early lists

I think we'll also see Sam Leavitt in these lists, although with all of these QBs, it's very much up in the air; they all need to maintain or improve their trajectory, and we've seen guys take step backs or plateau recently
