Arch Manning is All Over Social Media After St. Louis Visit

Arch Manning is spending time during the offseason showing off a different side. The Texas Longhorns quarterback will be the full-time starter in Austin with the expectation sky-high. But the former top recruit is built for greatness on and off the field.

Manning has the highest NIL Valuation in the nation at $6.8 million, according to On3. He might have a top-tier status, but is always willing to give back to his teammates. The future NFL legacy went with his Texas receiver Ryan Wingo to help out with his football camp at St. Louis University High School.

To say Manning turned heads in the 'Gateway to the West' is an understatement. He used the opportunity to have a photo op on Greer Ave. and the entire neighborhood came out to see him near the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis. Wingo hosted the camp with Manning and multiple Texas teammates on hand to help. 

Manning now inherits the Longhorns offense, needing to elevate his game from highly-touted prospect to genuine college football icon. Despite throwing for 939 yards and two touchdowns in limited work, he remains more potential than production at this stage of his career. Everyone is obviously very high on Manning and he's one of the more established of the starting quarterbacks in this game, regardless of how little he’s played.

Manning will be eligible for the 2026 NFL Draft, but it’s not certain that he will declare after the 2025 season. All eyes will be on Arch and the Longhorns this season with a difficult SEC schedule.
