Texas QB Arch Manning inks ‘extremely lucrative’ NIL deal with Red Bull
Manning, 19, is the No. 1 athlete across all sports — college or high school — in terms of NIL earnings, according to On3, with this new partnership, his 2023 deal with Panini America and an appearance in the EA Sports College Football 25 video game.
The former five-star recruit served as the backup behind Quinn Ewers this past season, completing 67.8% of his passes for 939 yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions in 10 games (two starts). He added 108 yards and four scores on the ground on 25 carries.
With Ewers headed to the NFL, Manning is the projected starter for the 2025 season. Texas, which made it to the semifinals of the first 12-team College Football Playoff this season, is one of the early favorites to win the 2025 CFP.
Texas opens the 2025 regular season against the defending national champion Buckeyes on Saturday, Aug. 30.
Manning is the son of Cooper Manning, the older brother of Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning.
