Arch was the No. 1 player in the 2023 recruiting class, according to 247Sports Composite, and he has already shown flashes of excellence in limited playing time with the Longhorns.

For a quarterback like Arch, staying smart by avoiding unnecessary hits and protecting health throughout the season is crucial, which his grandfather emphasized.

Fans thanked Archie for looking out for Arch with his valuable advice.

"Lmao. Grandpa knows best. That extra yard aint worth it," a person said.
