Will he declare? That’s a mystery, as Manning recently said his future plans are still unsettled at this point.
He will still have eligibility at Texas if he wishes to play in college for another season, but any real talk of the latest Manning entering the NFL will have to wait until the Longhorns quarterback is good and ready for it.
When does Texas open the season?
The team plays the Ohio State Buckeyes on the road on Saturday, Aug. 30 at noon ET on Fox.
