Arch Manning, but give him glasses.
That's the approach of the new Warby Parker advertisement featuring the Texas Longhorns' phenom quarterback.
And it has captured the eyes and hearts of college football fans in the early stages of the 2025 season as the nephew of Peyton and Eli begins his first season as a full-time starter for Texas.
He may be a future No. 1 NFL Draft pick, but for now he's a college kid with an awesome glasses ad.

"He had more of an accountant look," says Arch's dad, Cooper.
Arch goes on to credit his field vision to Warby Parker.
"Having good vision changed my life," Arch said in the commercial.
The commercial concludes with father and son joking about whether the glasses or the famous family served as a better mentor for Arch.
Warby Parker wrote this in a release when announcing that Arch was joining their team:
"Arch is an exceptional athlete whose great vision extends beyond the field. He’s been a loyal customer for years, and now we’re thrilled to officially have him on our team. I can’t wait to see what we accomplish together."
Arch Manning's NIL earnings
According to On3's NIL database, Manning brings in $6.8 million in NIL earnings.
No one in college football earns more.
An individual deal like the Warby Parker one won't have a publicized value. But it's safe to say Arch was well compensated for this ad.

Some of those that are known:
