Texas' Arch Manning Lands Red Bull Endorsement Deal; Has Reported $6.6M NIL Valuation
January 30, 2025
Texas quarterback Arch Manning is already expected to be the team's starter for the 2025 season, and he scored another win off the field.
Manning announced on Thursday that he has secured an NIL deal with Red Bull. According to Dan Morrison of On3.com, the 19-year-old now has an NIL valuation of $6.6 million, the highest of any college or high school sports athlete.
Manning addressed his NIL deal with Red Bull in an interview with ESPN's Marty Smith.
"I really like this partnership. Everyone at Red Bull has been super nice to me and my family and I can't wait to get it going," Manning said. "Plus, I like a Red Bull in the morning... We got early meetings, need a little energy."
After redshirting his freshman year in 2023, Manning spent the 2024 season as the primary backup to Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers. He appeared in 10 games and made two starts, showing a glimpse of his famous family lineage as the nephew of legendary quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning.
In his 10 appearances, the youngster threw for 939 yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions while completing 67.8 percent of his passes. He also added 108 rushing yards and four more scores, and Texas won both of the games he started.
The 2025 season will be Manning's opportunity to establish himself as the top quarterback prospect in the 2026 NFL draft, and he's already on the right track.
