Texas QB Arch Manning was already near the top of several Heisman watchlists but a former Longhorn playing in the Super Bowl has just boosted his candidacy.

The Arch Manning hype train is rumbling down the tracks, and Xavier Worthy is the conductor. Ahead of Manning's first year as Texas' starting quarterback, Worthy -- a former Longhorns standout and current rookie wide receiver with the Kansas City Chiefs -- made a bold prediction for Manning.

Xavier Worthy got a front-row seat to Arch Manning’s freshman year at Texas. Manning sat behind Quinn Ewers on the depth chart after arriving as a highly rated recruit, but ended up seeing action late in the year.
