Arch Manning prepares for Texas Longhorns season opener against Texas State

University of Texas quarterback Arch Manning begins his second year as the team’s starter this Saturday, September 5, with a game against the Texas State Bobcats. The 22-year-old enters his junior season following a 2025 campaign where the Longhorns finished with a 10-3 record. During the offseason, Manning consulted with his uncles, Peyton Manning and Eli Manning, who encouraged him to remain focused on the present and enjoy his college experience. Manning, who is considered a potential early selection in the 2027 NFL Draft, spent the spring participating in team workouts and spring ball sessions. After taking time to decompress in New Orleans during May, he returned to the field to prepare for the start of the schedule. He remains focused on team performance for the upcoming season as he continues his development at Texas.
