Arch Manning and Garrett Nussmeier are two standout quarterbacks from the SEC who are generating a lot of buzz ahead of the 2025 college football season. Both players have shown immense talent and potential, but according to Georgia Bulldogs legend Aaron Murray, there may be another quarterback in the conference who could outshine them in the upcoming season.
In a recent poll conducted by On3 Sports, followers were asked to vote for the best SEC quarterback for the next season. The options included Manning, Nussmeier, Florida’s DJ Lagway, and Vanderbilt’s Diego Pavia. Surprisingly, Murray chose Lagway as his pick, questioning the absence of South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers on the list.
Lagway had an impressive freshman season for Florida, throwing for 1,915 yards with 12 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 12 games. On the other hand, Sellers had a standout year as a redshirt freshman for South Carolina, amassing 2,534 passing yards and 25 total touchdowns.
Peyton Manning, the legendary quarterback and uncle of Arch Manning, had the opportunity to watch both Manning and Nussmeier in action at the Manning Passing Academy during the offseason. Manning was impressed by the performance of the two SEC quarterbacks, praising their throwing abilities and noting that they made throws that even he couldn’t imagine making.
Arch Manning, who is gearing up for his third season with the Texas Longhorns, is set to take over as the team’s starting quarterback under head coach Steve Sarkisian. With the departure of Quinn Ewers to the NFL, Manning will have the chance to showcase his skills and lead his team to success in the upcoming season.
Overall, the SEC is stacked with talented quarterbacks like Manning, Nussmeier, Lagway, and Sellers, making it an exciting conference to watch for college football fans. As the 2025 season approaches, all eyes will be on these young quarterbacks as they look to make their mark on the field and lead their teams to victory.
