2026 QB class

[Gregg]

Many of the "experts" think Manning will go #1 but I wonder if he will declare as he might stay in college. Here are some of the other QB prospects to watch this college football season

I feel like Arch and the rest of the Mannings will be very interested in who has the number one pick.  If it ends up being a franchise the family feels will be a detriment to Arch's ability maximize his career I can fully see him going back to school.      Both Manning and Sellers need this year to show they are worth top picks.  Sellers specifically hasnt shown enough as a passer.    Klubnik and Nussmeier both need to gain weight to play at the next level.   I am interested to see if Mateer can continue to play well at OU.

I think there's almost zero chance Arch Manning goes to the draft 

 

The Mannings are all about staying 4 years in college and having over 20 college starts 

 

Maximum Arch is going to have like 13 or 14 which is basically going to be a short NFL career for what they would want.. he needs more experience 

 

Super talented but the way 95% of pundits and people just gave him this label of being the best and guaranteed number one pick is way way too soon... 

 

Remember he could not even beat out quinn ewers who went in the 7th round

Arch Manning probably has 7 lb on klubnik who has definitely been getting bigger the last 2 years 

 

But 7 lb with 2 in height advantage really isn't that big a difference 

 

Dabo said klubnik is 212 and getting bigger Arch is definitely under 220... So they're not that far off 

 

And klubnik is wayyyy further along as a starting quarterback in college right now

Makes sense.  The site I looked at had Klubnik at 6'2 209.    Probably hadnt been updated since his 1st year,

I think Arch has a really good year with some stuff to grow on.. and I think he rips up 2026 potentially winning a Heisman

He will certainly get his chance now that he is the starter at Texas. I am curious to see how he does even though the Bills don't need a QB. I think the Jets will draft one in Rd 1. Fields only has a two-year deal and I don't see him as their long-term answer. Who knows what the Dolphins will do. Do they move on from Tua. Possibly. The only two teams in the division set at QB are the Bills and Pats.
