Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning rocks an orange No. 16 jersey in Austin. 30 years ago, Arch's uncle -- Pro Football Hall of Famer Peyton Manning -- wore an orange No. 16 in Knoxville while playing quarterback for the Tennessee Vols.

Owens is a big-armed former four-star recruit who saw a few snaps last season as a true freshman. Lacey, a four-star recruit from the 2025 class, was Mr. Football in the state of Alabama last year. Then there's Bell, a top 10 player in the 2026 class and someone who, by 2027, will be a redshirt freshman in Austin.

Expectations are high in Austin after the Longhorns were ranked No. 1 in the preseason AP Poll for the first time in program history.
