Ryan Wingo is looked at as a strong breakout star candidate for next year. He teams up with one of the most hyped quarterbacks in college football history, Arch Manning . Earlier this off-season, the two went viral as Manning visited the Texas Longhorns WR's hometown for a camp.

Appearing on the '3rd and Longhorns' show, Wingo talked about the camp and Manning's viral moment from the 'bloc party' afterwards.

Manning has shown incredible leadership, as stated by Longhorns HC Steve Sarkisian. The two seasons he's spent as a backup have shaped him for the upcoming season, and his off-field presence with his teammates has showcased the same.

The Longhorns WR spoke on Manning's visit, saying, "It was a little block party, took some pictures. It obviously got out there — went a little viral. It was a good vibe though, my pop's was cooking."

Manning wasn't the only Longhorns teammate there—linebacker Colin Simmons, and wide receivers DeAndre Moore Jr. and Aaron Butler also made it to the camp in St. Louis.

Texas Longhorns are favored by many to win it all with their new quarterback. But with such a small sample size, Manning's report card won't actually be out until the end of the year.

However, that has not stopped media members from adding more fuel to the hype train. Colin Cowherd on Thursday joined the dots after a report suggested Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam has "unmatched thirst" for drafting Manning.

The FOX Sports broadcaster said, "This is the worst-kept secret in the south. Haslam, Jimmy, owner of the Browns, huge SEC, Tennessee booster, leans heavily on the Manning family."

He explained that the billionaire owner had been close to the Manning family for a long time, along with being close to Nick Saban. Saban, the Mannings, and Haslam could all be involved in the Browns' resurgence, according to Cowherd.

Whether this ends up happening or not, it is definitely noteworthy that the Texas Longhorns have such a quarterback on their roster right now. Steve Sarkisian and his staff will surely work their hardest to extract the best out of him.

The Longhorns kick off their season against the Ohio State Buckeyes on 30 August.
