Jamaal Charles Calls Arch Manning ‘The Future Star of Texas Longhorns Football’

Arch Manning, despite limited experience with only 52 passes thrown in his college career, has impressed former Longhorns running back Jamaal Charles. In an exclusive interview with TMZ Sports, Charles expressed his confidence in Manning’s future potential, labeling him as the emerging star for the Texas Longhorns.

Manning has recently stepped into the starting role while Quinn Ewers recovers from an injury. Charles praised Manning’s performance over the past two weeks, particularly against teams like UTSA and ULM, noting that his play evokes memories of his illustrious uncles, Peyton and Eli Manning. “You can tell that it runs in the family,” Charles remarked, emphasizing the young quarterback’s innate talent.

While Charles acknowledged Manning’s skill, he clarified that the team still belongs to Ewers, insisting there is no quarterback controversy in Austin. Looking ahead, Charles is eager to see how Manning adapts to the challenge of facing tougher opponents, particularly Mississippi State, should Ewers remain sidelined. As anticipation builds, Charles confidently stated, “I have seen enough from the QB to believe he has a future in the NFL.”

In addition to discussing Manning, Charles touched on another topic: the Kansas City Chiefs and their star tight end, Travis Kelce. Addressing concerns about Kelce’s slow start this season, Charles urged fans to remain calm, highlighting Kelce’s successful track record and confidence that he will soon regain his form.
