After two years of much anticipation, it’s officially the Arch Manning era in Austin, as he enters his first training camp as the Longhorns starter. In limited action, we have seen Manning make opponents pay with both his arm, as well as with his wheels. A Heisman campaign would appear to be on tap.
South Carolina signal-caller LaNorris Sellers (photo: South Carolina Athletics) could look to challenge as the premier passing prospect, as the Gamecocks are preparing for what could be their most successful season to date in over a decade.
LSU returns veteran leader Garrett Nussmeier, who brings tremendous experience and poise in the pocket. An upgraded supporting cast should make the Tigers offense a potent one.
Much has been made about the high-profile transfers of Nico Iamaleava to UCLA and Carson Beck to Miami. Both signal-callers opted out of the SEC in seek of a NIL portal pay-out. Each has been mentioned as a potential franchise signal-caller during various points of their career.
Meanwhile, traditional pocket-passers such as Drew Allar of Penn State and Cade Klubnik of Clemson, look to build upon career-best seasons.
