If Arch Manning chooses to leave Texas, LSU football is considered the frontrunner to acquire the quarterback through the transfer portal. Recent discussions about Quinn Ewers returning to Texas for the 2024 season have sparked speculation about Manning’s college football future. While Manning is currently not anticipated to enter the transfer portal, Betonline has provided odds for potential landing destinations if he decides to transfer.
LSU football is positioned as the top choice with +200 odds, making them the leading candidate to secure Manning should he decide to transfer. Following closely are North Carolina (+300), Ole Miss (+400), Tulane (+500), and Alabama (+600) in the top five options. It’s important to mention that Manning has previously dismissed rumors about a potential transfer.
Will Arch Manning enter the transfer portal?
As of late December, Arch Manning addressed the topic of transferring, stating, “I haven’t looked into transferring at all. I’m just focused on developing and helping this team in any way I can and hopefully one day playing for the University of Texas like I’ve always wanted to,” according to Bob Ballou of CBS Austin. At that time, Quinn Ewers’ decision to return to Texas had not been officially confirmed, but it was anticipated.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Ewers’ status, Manning seems uninterested in exploring a transfer and is committed to contributing to the University of Texas football team. His primary aspiration is to play for Texas, but if he continues with the Longhorns, he might not secure a starting quarterback role until the 2025 season.
The situation remains intriguing, especially if Manning were to surprise the college football community by deciding to transfer. LSU football fans would undoubtedly closely monitor the developments, considering the odds provided by Betonline.
