Plus: Texas softball drops series to Oklahoma
Despite recent Texas exe Quinn Ewers’ decision to be featured on the cover of an EA College Sports Football video game, Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian and incoming starting quarterback Arch Manning reportedly declined the same opportunity.
That’s according to On3.
From On3:
“On Monday, Steve Sarkisian shared that he and QB Arch Manning chose not go to the photoshoot for the cover of EA Sports College Football 26 at The Rose Bowl. That comes a year after QB Quinn Ewers made the cover alongside Colorado’s Travis Hunter and Michigan’s Donovan Edwards.”
