Texas football QB Arch Manning signs NIL deal with Red Bull
(This story has been updated to fix an error.)
Texas football quarterback Arch Manning has signed an NIL deal with Red Bull, which is fitting considering how bullish Longhorn Nation is on the incoming redshirt sophomore quarterback.
Manning, the nation’s top recruit in the class of 2023 and the scion of one of football’s most famous families, redshirted his freshman season and served as Quinn Ewers’ top backup this past season. His grandfather, former No. 2 NFL draft pick and College Football Hall of Famer Archie Manning, once said that Arch Manning wouldn’t sign any NIL deal until he became a starting quarterback (Arch Manning previously had a deal with Panini trading cards.)

That time has arrived, since Ewers declared for the NFL draft earlier this month and Manning is expected to assume the starting job in the 2025 season. As reported by On3, Red Bull has signed Manning to an NIL deal with undisclosed terms.

In a post on Instagram, Red Bull wrote, “target locked, wiiings secured @archmanning” while showing a video of Manning throwing a football at an unnamed field.
According to On3’s NIL Valuation chart for collegiate athletes. Manning ranks first with an estimated value of $6.6 million. Duke freshman basketball player Cooper Flagg, projected as the first pick in the 2025 NBA draft, is a distant second at $4.3 million.
Manning threw for 939 yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions this past season for Texas while starting two games and seeing a handful of snaps in relief duty. He added 108 yards on 25 carries and four touchdowns on the ground.
CORRECTION: A previous version of this story misstated which hall of fame Archie Manning is a member of. He is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame and the New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame.
