Texas Longhorns WR Says 'No Comment' on Arch Manning, Quinn Ewers Comparison

Texas Longhorns wide receiver Ryan Wingo was asked during a recent local media availability about the difference between catching passes from Ewers and Manning after having played with both as a freshman last season.

His response?

"No comment," Wingo said.

This answer from Wingo was certainly interesting, and only created more questions. Instead of praising both Ewers and Manning, he chose to plead the fifth when asked to compare the two, a respectable decision but one that could have been avoided by dancing around the question entirely.

Nonetheless, it's clear that Wingo has great respect for both quarterbacks by refusing to compare them. Sure, his answer caused somewhat of a stir on social media, but the Longhorns are used to shutting out any outside noise anyways.

Ryan Wingo Spoke Highly of His Bond With Arch Manning

Prior to that, Wingo touched on the bond he's built with Manning dating back to his arrival last season.

"I feel like me coming in, our bond was good, because he used to text me trying to get me to commit stuff like that. So our bond was already good then. And then, like you say, he did come to my camp (in St. Louis), so it increased from there, because, like I said, we down there together, so we still talking about life, stuff like that. And then we up here now in fall camp, and we up here together all day."

Last season, Wingo played in all 16 games while posting 29 catches for 472 yards and two touchdowns. He also had five carries for 100 yards, highlighted by a 55-yard run in the win over Michigan. 

Wingo is now joined by some new faces in the passing game headed into the season. Texas added Stanford wide receiver Emmett Mosley V and Cal tight end Jack Endries along with three freshmen wideouts in Michael Terry III, Kaliq Lockett and Jaime Ffrench.

Wingo and Manning will look to begin the season with a bang when the Longhorns kick off against the Ohio State Buckeyes from Columbus on Aug. 30.
