The bond between Kevin Durant and Arch Manning: support that runs deep
In reality, Kevin Durant enthusiasm for Arch Manning isn’t new. When the young QB announced his commitment to Texas in 2022, Durant was one of the first celebrities to react.
“We’re gonna get it done, Arch,” he wrote, showing that his connection to the university remains strong since his historic 2006–07 season.
