There is a huge quantity of media threshing around the quarter -back of Texas Longhorns Arch Manning before the 2025 season – and rightly so.
Manning has all the intangible assets that all college football coaches would like a quarter of a quarter in today’s match. In addition, he has the famous football name at the back of his jersey. He will not go back to a challenge while Texas is preparing to face the national reigning champion Ohio State Buckeyes to launch the 2025 season.
Fans can get lost in media threshing on a player and forget that there are several other quarters that are very good and even better than Manning.

There are at least seven other quarters of university football that average fans should know before setting up for a big weekend of high-level matches.
Garrett Nussmeier, LSU Tigers

Garrett Nussmeier showed exactly what he can bring to the table for the offensive of Brian Kelly. He launched for 4,502 yards by the pass and 29 passes of Touché last season while LSU went 9-4 and won the Texas Bowl on Baylor.
This year, the pressure is a little stronger. Nussmeier has shown lightning to be a star quarter, but the achievement of victories in one of the most difficult conferences in the country is something that he will have to focus on the future this year.
His first challenge? Oh, just n ° 4 Clemson.
Cade Klubnik, Clemson Tigers

Cade Klubnik.
Klubnik is probably in his last season in Clemson and played a major role in preventing the Tigers season from becoming out of control. He led Clemson to the ACC championship, winning a victory over SMU. Clemson succeeded in the playoffs of university football but lost in the first round against Texas.
He succeeded 3,639 yards by the pass and 36 passes of Touché last season. His second year went to his junior season, expectations being high for his last year.

The dry has known its just part of incredible quarters in each program. But it’s been a good time that no one talked about who was under the center of the Southern Caroline Gamecocks.
Lanorris Sellers is a second year student for the Gamecocks and began to attract attention last season when the South Carolina almost beaten Alabama, then won a round of victories on Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt and Clemson.
Shane Beamer’s team now has an interesting talent in the QB position that everyone will want to see. He had 2,534 yards by the pass and 18 passes of touch in 2024. He also added 674 yards on the ground and seven affected on the ground.

The Ohio State Buckeyes will go with Julian Sayin to start his defense of the national championship after Will Howard led the offensive last season.
Sayin is a relative unknown, but the rest of the nation will be presented to him when he confronts Manning and Longhorns to start the year. He was transferred from Alabama in 2024 and won the post against Lincoln Kienholz.
On Saturday, he will start in the biggest game in his life so far. Fortunately, he has weapons like Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate around him, which would facilitate the transition to this starting role.
Drew Allar, Penn State Nittany Lions

Drew Allar could very well be one of the first quarters to be selected in the NFL draft next year. This is why this season at Penn State is so crucial for him and the Nittany Lions.
ALLAR made 3,327 yards by the pass and 24 Touché passes last year. We thought the dream season had been at hand. Penn State has made a deep race in the university football playoffs. However, it turned out to be a nightmare because they suffered a loss of three points against Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl.
The 2025 season could be the year for Penn State. Fans should get used to allar now.
DJ Lagway, Florida Gators

Florida Gators have been affected or missed in the Billy Napier era and the 2025 season will be crucial for many staff in the program.
Many hopes are on the shoulders of the Lagaway quarter DJ. It should start week 1 when the Gators face the Long Island sharks. It should be a walk in the park for a powerful school like Florida and give Lagway a momentum to start the season.
In the first year, Lagway had 1,915 yards by the pass and 12 Touché passes. There are high expectations, he will be able to raise the Gators to more than eight victories in 2025.
Sam Leavitt, Arizona State Sun Devils

Sam Leavitt may have played under the cloud of the Big 12 conference last season, but he announced his presence with authority when the Sun Devils took place at the university football playoffs. There is no more room to hide.
Leavitt will enter his second season at Arizona State which was released for a year when he had 2,885 yards by the pass and 24 Touché passes. He played his best football in the section, leading the Arizona State to eight consecutive victories before losing against Texas in the university football playoffs.
Under Kenny Dillingham, the state of Arizona will have increased expectations in 2025. The state of Arizona will begin as team No. 11 of the country with northern Arizona coming on Saturday.
