The Texas Longhorns have officially passed the starting quarterback baton from Quinn Ewers to Arch Manning. The nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning will look to build on Ewers’ tremendous career and lead Texas to its first title since Vince Young was behind center. However, unlike Ewers, who had a slew of veteran receivers to throw to, Manning’s first spring will see him throw to a handful of guys who have never played before. With DeAndre Moore not able to go this spring, former five-star Ryan Wingo is the lone returning receiver with a catch to his name. He and Manning displayed a strong connection in the times they played together last season, and it may get even better in 2025 based on the latest report regarding Wingo.
According to Orangebloods’ Anward Richardson, Wingo underwent LASIK surgery after struggling with his vision. “According to my sources, Texas WR Ryan Wingo recently had LASIK surgery after the staff discovered he was struggling with very poor vision after struggling in workouts,” wrote Richardson. “Apparently, he dealt with it last season. However, he’ll clearly see those dimes from Arch Manning this season.” With imperfect vision, Wingo still had a productive freshman campaign. He ended up hauling in 29 catches for 472 yards and two scores, while also logging 100 yards rushing on five carries.
