On the Gridiron: Highlights
A few eyebrows were raised in Austin, Texas, on Monday.
At the start of spring practice, head coach Steve Sarkisian said there’s a quarterback competition between incumbent Quinn Ewers and New Orleans native Arch Manning.
Six student-athletes from Isidore Newman High School committed to continue their academic and athletic careers on the collegiate level. They made their commitments in front of a large crowd of family, friends, and teammates who gathered in Fitzgerald-Skertich Arena on Tuesday afternoon.
Among the six were University of Texas at Austin football commits Arch Manning and Will Randle.

Newman head coach Nelson Stewart is not concerned about the final score of last week’s scrimmage against Holy Cross.
Newman quarterback Arch Manning kicked off tonight’s scrimmage with a 67-yard pass to Anthony Jones, but from that point on Holy Cross’s size, athleticism, and depth would take over.
If you think you are happy, you’re not as happy as Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian.
Arch Manning, the nation’s top recruit in the Class of 2023, committed to Texas Thursday morning, announcing the news on social media.
The Newman quarterback will not have a press conference, nor apparently do interviews, anytime soon.
