5 transfer portal landing spots for Arch Manning in EA Sports College Football 25
#5 Georgia
Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck will be in EA Sports College Football 25 as the returning starter for the team. He is a leading preseason candidate to win the 2024 Heisman Trophy and is expected to enter the 2025 NFL Draft following this coming season.
Georgia was one of the teams that Manning made visits to during his initial recruitment and could be a good landing spot for him in the future. Georgia has established a winning culture under head coach Kirby Smart and could have a starting spot open for Manning in the 2025 campaign.
#4 Auburn
If Arch Manning were to enter the transfer portal and land at Auburn, he would have a chance to immediately compete for a starting spot in the 2024 season. Auburn is in need of an elite arm talent, with senior Payton Thorne returning for another season after throwing for 1,755 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions.
Manning would also have freshman wideout Cam Coleman as one of his top targets. Coleman is the second-ranked wide receiver in the class of 2024 by 247Sports and is expected to make an instant impact for the Tigers this season.
#3 Miami
The Miami Hurricanes would be a dark horse transfer portal landing spot for Arch Manning, who lost Tyler Van Dyke, but now have Cam Ward transferring in for his fifth season of eligibility. Manning could be Miami's missing piece that would allow them to become a championship-caliber team once again like they were in the early 2000s.
If Manning transfers to Miami and takes the starting spot from Ward in 2024, he would have weapons like Xavier Restrepo, Jacolby George, and Sam Brown on the outside. Ny Carr and Joshisa Trader are also promising freshmen who could emerge as top targets in the future.
#2 Alabama
If Arch Manning enters the transfer portal in EA Sports College Football 25, inserting him into a Kalen DeBoer-style offense at Alabama would be huge. Jalen Milroe is returning for another season as the Crimson Tide quarterback but is already expected to be a high NFL draft pick next year.
Alabama was one of the schools that made a strong push for Manning during his initial recruiting process before he committed to Texas.
#1 LSU
LSU will need a replacement for Jayden Daniels in 2024, which would give Arch Manning the chance to compete with Garrett Nussmeier for the starting spot. If Manning were to enter the transfer portal and go to LSU, he would have an outstanding offensive line protecting him and pass-catching weapons like Kyren Lacy, Chris Hilton Jr., and Mason Taylor.
After developing top NFL QB draft picks including Jayden Daniels and Joe Burrow, LSU would be an interesting transfer portal landing spot for future NFL-hopeful Arch Manning.
