With Arch Manning coming in, Ewers will sit.
I can't see wanting to spend a significant amount of NIL money on a guy like that.
Exact opposite. The Mannings have made it clear to UT that Arch gets a development year. They will be evaluating UT as much as UT evaluates Arch.
1. The NIL $ needs to continue to flow or Arch never plays a down at UT.
2. There needs to be established talent at WR when he is expected to start. If they don’t see the talent there to ensure Arch can look really good, he transfers.
While the Mannings expect him to light it up, they’ll do whatever they can to ensure Arch looks the part. By the time he is eligible for the NFL draft, Arch will be set for life with NIL money.
Mannings don’t want a Ewers situation where Arch hasn’t developed enough yet and is thrown to the wolves.
