Potential NIL Giant Arch Manning Commits to Texas

  • On3 gives Manning a $3.1 million valuation for potential NIL deals — the highest for any HS football player and third overall.
  • He’s completed 65.7% of his passes for 6,307 yards, 81 touchdowns, and only 17 interceptions in three HS seasons.

One of the most highly anticipated quarterback recruits in history has chosen his college.

On Thursday, five-star recruit Arch Manning committed to Texas via his personal Twitter account.

The grandson of Archie, son of Cooper, and nephew of Peyton and Eli has impressed at Louisiana’s Isidore Newman School, completing 65.7% of his passes for 6,307 yards and 81 touchdowns against just 17 interceptions across three seasons as starter.

He’s 24/7 Sports’ No. 1 overall QB recruit for the class of 2023.

The incoming high school senior’s on-field prowess and famous last name could lead to massive NIL opportunities when he steps on campus in Austin.

On3 gives Manning a $3.1 million valuation for potential NIL deals — the highest among any HS football player and third overall behind Bronny James ($6.1M) and Bryce Young ($3.1M).

Ninth on that list is current Texas QB Quinn Ewers — a 2021 five-star recruit and transfer from Ohio State expected to win the starting job in the fall. Ewers himself is no stranger to NIL: He’s reportedly driving around Texas in a custom Bentley.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
