There was actually talk about possibly benching the once mega-hyped recruit this week with him struggling in back-to-back losses. Turnovers have been a killer. Manning had two fourth-quarter interceptions in the Oct. 10 Red River Rivalry loss to Oklahoma that cost UT, then ranked No. 1 nationally, the game.
And then in last week's loss to unranked Florida, Manning threw for only 173 yards and fumbled in the final two minutes, which allowed the Gators to seal it. Manning is now +30000 to win the Heisman, the same price as Northwestern quarterback Aidan Chiles. Who expected that only two months ago?
NFL scouts are seeing the same things we all are, and Manning is no longer considered to have much of a shot to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. He's priced +1100 to go first with Ohio State wideout and Heisman favorite Jeremiah Smith as the +210 leader. Some believe the Manning might even return to Texas and that he's on the roster next season is -200 at one sportsbook with No at +150.
