**Arch Manning Poised to Step Up as Texas Longhorns’ Starting Quarterback in 2025**
As Quinn Ewers departs, Arch Manning is set to take the reins as the starting quarterback for the Texas Longhorns in 2025. With an increased workload on the horizon for the upcoming season, Manning is also making waves off the field with his impressive earnings. Just a couple of years ago, he was among the most coveted high school recruits in the nation, ultimately choosing to bring his talent and renowned last name to Austin. Although his playing time has been limited during his first two seasons, his potential remains a focal point.
Manning’s athletic prowess, combined with his lineage as the nephew of NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning, has led to several lucrative name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals since he joined college football. Currently, his NIL valuation is estimated at $6.5 million, positioning him among the top-earning collegiate athletes. Recently, he added Vuori, a clothing company, to his roster of partnerships. Vuori announced the collaboration on Instagram, highlighting Manning’s strong work ethic and authenticity.
Last season, Manning participated in 10 games, including two starts in place of the injured Ewers. He concluded the 2024 season with 939 passing yards, nine touchdowns, and two interceptions. The Longhorns had a successful run in the College Football Playoff, defeating Clemson and securing a thrilling overtime victory against Arizona State before being eliminated by the Ohio State Buckeyes, the eventual national champions.
Looking ahead, Texas will kick off the 2025 season against Ohio State in Columbus on August 30, marking a significant moment for Manning as he steps into a more prominent role.
