It’s Arch Manning time at Texas for the 2025 college football season.

Manning will be the starting quarterback for this season after Quinn Ewers declared for the 2025 NFL Draft. He had been the starter for the previous three seasons before handing the keys over to Manning.

If Manning has a great season, he could declare for the 2026 NFL Draft and be the first quarterback taken during that draft in Pittsburgh.

Manning has multiple NIL deals with companies for the 2025 season and added to that collection on Tuesday, this time with a clothing brand named Vuori. The company announced the news via its Instagram page.

“Next Mann Up: Arch Manning. Vuori is excited to announce Arch Manning, college football player, as the newest Vuori Athlete. From his outstanding work ethic on and off the field to his unique ability to stay true to himself despite his rising status, our new athlete @archmanning embodies what winning really means to us: a passion to perform, and an inner knowing that true strength starts within,” the caption read.

Manning will have this deal through his sophomore season. He played in 10 games during the 2024 season, finishing with 939 passing yards, nine touchdowns, and two interceptions. 

He even had to start in two games while Ewers was dealing with some injuries. Texas won both games and Manning showed that he is ready to be a starter. 

His first start as a full-time starter will come on August 30 against Ohio State. Ohio State ended Texas’ season in 2024 so the program will seek revenge in this game. 

The game will take place in Columbus and doesn’t have a specified kickoff time yet.
