They're really going to do this again. ...
After a 2025 offseason of absurd hype for Texas quarterback Arch Manning after barely even any playing time beforehand, the fanfare has already started again for 2026 despite Manning failing to come even close to those unreachable expectations this past season.
FanDuel already released betting odds for who will win the Heisman Trophy next college football season, and once again, Manning was tied with Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr for the best odds at +750. Just before last season kicked off, Manning was also the Heisman favorite with odds at +600.
