Texas quarterback Arch Manning was named one of 15 finalists for this year’s Manning Award. Although named after the Longhorns’ starting quarterback’s family—specifically, his grandfather Arch and uncles, NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning—the award was created by the Allstate Sugar Bowl. The award combines its evaluation of its finalists and eventual winner during both regular season and postseason play.
