Arch Manning Venmo Payments Spark Frenzy—But What’s the Truth Behind the Viral Claims?
So, here we go again — social media’s latest whirlwind drags Arch Manning into the spotlight, not for his arm or his stats, but for some purported Venmo transactions that sparked a frenzy reminiscent of the recent Oklahoma Sooners quarterback gambling saga. Are these digital breadcrumbs a quiet admission or just another internet hoax poking the bear? Spoiler alert: they’re nearly impossible to swallow as real. While Oklahoma’s John Mateer is navigating a storm over alleged sports gambling that he insists was just teenage humor gone viral, Arch Manning’s name popped up in a nearly identical viral fakeout. But here’s the kicker—amid the noise and photoshop battles, Manning’s eyes remain glued firmly on the prize: his inaugural 2025 season with Texas, a team perched at the top of the preseason AP Poll, ready to duke it out in the SEC. So, what happens when off-field controversies swirl like a storm but the player just wants to “play along and play ball”? Buckle up; this isn’t just about alleged payments — it’s about what really happens when hype meets hard hardwood reality. LEARN MORE.
Arch Manning’s alleged Venmo payments are going viral on social media on Tuesday, in the wake of a gambling conspiracy surrounding an Oklahoma Sooners quarterback, but are they real?
Almost certainly not.
On Tuesday, Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer was accused of betting on sports, after screenshots of a “sports gambling” payment made on his Venmo account went viral. However, the Oklahoma Sooners quarterback has denied ever betting on college football, saying his payment was simply an inside joke between friends as a teenager.
“The allegations that I once participated in sports gambling are false,” Mateer posted to X on Tuesday. “My previous Venmo descriptions did not accurately portray the transactions in question but were instead inside jokes between me and my friends.
“I have never bet on sports. I understand the seriousness of the matter but recognize that, taken out of context, those Venmo descriptions suggest otherwise. I can assure my teammates, coaches, and officials at the NCAA that I have not engaged in any sports gambling.”
Oklahoma, meanwhile, is taking this seriously, saying the school “takes any allegations of gambling seriously and works closely with the NCAA in any situation of concern.” However, the school said its “unaware of any NCAA investigation and has no reason to believe there is one pending.”
In the wake of Mateer’s screenshots going viral, similar ones from Arch Manning have gone viral, as well. But they appear to be fake.
Several alleged Venmo transactions from Arch Manning’s account have gone viral on social media on Tuesday, but they are most certainly fake or just jokes. Fans are taking to social media to photoshop images in hopes of going viral, creating a similar controversy to the one featuring the Oklahoma Sooners quarterback.
Manning, meanwhile, is simply focused on the 2025 season. Texas, ranked No. 1 in the preseason AP Poll top 25, is expected to contend at the top of the SEC.
“It means everything,” Manning said at SEC Media Days. “I mean, my family has played in SEC, I grew up going to SEC games wanting to be a part of it. So now getting to represent at SEC media day, it’s kind of a dream. I know I haven’t done anything in the SEC yet, but that’s the goal.”
Manning has been hyped a lot, but he’s trying to simply focus on the games.
“It’s weird,” Manning told ESPN. “I really haven’t deserved any of this, so just trying to play along and play ball.”
Manning and Texas are scheduled to take on No. 3 Ohio State in the first game of the year on Saturday, Aug. 30.
Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. E.T.
