The Texas Longhorns seem likely to have Arch Manning back as their quarterback in 2026.
That makes the QB depth chart behind Manning a tough place to be in Austin, and it looks like it'll be getting lighter.
Trey Owens is expected to enter the transfer portal, according to On3.
Owens has been with the Longhorns for two seasons.
He was originally a four-star recruit out of Cy-Fair (Texas) in the Class of 2024, ranking as the No. 20 QB nationally in his class.
In high school, Owens was an All-American.
He threw for 6,411 yards at Cy-Fair with 81 touchdowns, completing 70% of his passes.

Owens got into two games during the 2024 season for Texas, completing two passes for 19 yards.
He didn't play at all in 2025.
Manning hasn't yet made his decision. Before this season, he was viewed as a candidate to be a top-10 NFL Draft pick, but inconsistencies have led many to believe Manning will take another year in college first.
If Manning were to still go to the NFL, the Longhorns could find themselves really in need of a new quarterback out of the transfer portal, because losing Manning and Owens would leave the cupboard rather bare.
But if Manning is back, Texas will be just fine.
Owens, with a strong pedigree, has a good chance of landing on his feet, as well.
