Arch Manning figures to be college football's biggest attraction in 2025.
The Texas quarterback has been earmarked for greatness — both at the collegiate and NFL level — since his high school days. After serving as Quinn Ewers' understudy for the better part of two seasons, Manning finally gets his chance to pull the strings in Steve Sarkisian's offense.
Manning didn't play too much in his first two seasons with the Longhorns. His bank account doesn't reflect that, however. The youngest Manning has loudly proclaimed himself to be one of college football's biggest draws. That's bore out in the profits he has been yielding, too, marks that get all the more impressive when considering the fact that he only started three games across his first two seasons.
With that, here's what you need to know about Manning's NIL earnings.

What he does have is his surname. His uncles, Peyton and Eli, were media darlings at their pomp, landing endorsement deals with Gatorade, Nike, Papa John's, and DirecTV. They remain prominent figures in the media landscape after their retirement, appearing on "ManningCast," ESPN's "Monday Night Football" supplement.
Arch Manning might not reach the heights of his uncles, but as long as he approaches them, particularly in the college game, he'll bring home a glistening check.
