Texas coach Steve Sarkisian confirms quarterback competition between Arch Manning, Quinn Ewers

Freshman quarterback Arch Manning will compete for the starting job with sophomore Quinn Ewers, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian confirmed Monday after the Longhorns held their opening practice of the spring.

"I'm not worried about who's going to be on the cover of what magazine next week," Sarkisian said.

"I'm more focused on is, is each guy focusing on what they need to do to develop to be the best player that they can be? Quinn has an entire year of a head start, but I don't want to hold Arch back. I want to see how far he can take this thing and what it can look like.
