Who is Arch Manning’s dad?

Cooper Manning, the older brother of Peyton and Eli, is the father of Arch Manning, a redshirt freshman quarterback for the Texas Longhorns.

When the Texas Longhorns face the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship game today, Quinn Ewers will start the game at quarterback, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see Arch Manning rotate in.

If Manning enters the game, football fans tuning in to watch Texas for the first time this season could be drawn to ask a question that will continue to be asked countless times leading up to the 2026 NFL draft: Who is Arch Manning’s dad?

Arch, 19, is a redshirt freshman at Texas who has completed 67.8% of his passes this season for 939 yards with nine touchdowns against two interceptions. He has also rushed 20 times for 95 yards and four scores.

Who is Arch Manning’s dad?

Cooper Manning, the older brother of Peyton Manning and Eli Manning, is Arch’s father. Cooper was a star wide receiver in high school at Isidore Newman (where his brothers and son also played), but his football career was cut short by spinal stenosis before he was set to play at Ole Miss.

When is Arch Manning eligible for the NFL draft?

Arch needs to be at least three years removed from high school before being eligible for the NFL draft. So the earliest he could declare for the draft would be 2026. Arch’s uncles, Peyton and Eli, both spent four years in college. If Arch follows the same path, that would put him in the 2027 class. First things, first: Arch will look to become the full-time starter at Texas in 2025.

Peyton Manning attended the Broncos game instead of doing a ‘ManningCast’

There was no ‘ManningCast’ in Week 13 because Peyton Manning attended the Broncos game in person with his son, Marshall.

There was no ManningCast for the thrilling Monday Night Football clash between the Denver Broncos and Cleveland Browns at Empower Field at Mile High last night.

It seems that Peyton Manning preferred to attend the game in person.

Peyton, who spent the final four years of his career with the Broncos, still lives in the Denver area and he attends many of the team’s home games. He was on the sideline with his son, Marshall, ahead of Monday’s game.

Marshall was rocking a throwback Pat Surtain jersey. Isaiah J. Downing of Imagn Images captured this photo of Peyton and his son before the game:

Although it would have been entertaining for viewers to watch Peyton’s reactions to all of Monday’s shenanigans, Peyton certainly picked a fun game to attend in person while taking a break from the ManningCast schedule.

Peyton and Eli Manning will return next week with a ManningCast for the Dallas Cowboys-Cincinnati Bengals game in Week 14.

Peyton and Eli Manning release funny statements about 2025 Pro Bowl

Peyton and Eli Manning announced a return to the Pro Bowl with their signature sense of humor.

The Pro Bowl Games are returning this season and the NFL’s favorite brothers will once again serve as the head coaches.

Peyton Manning (AFC) and Eli Manning (NFC) will face off in the 2025 Pro Bowl at Camping World Stadium on Sunday, Feb. 2.

After the league announced the Mannings as returning coaches, the brothers released a pair of funny statements ahead of the Pro Bowl.

“The Pro Bowl Games are all about having fun,” Peyton said. “It’s always unpredictable, and we got to bring fans into the action and see the NFL’s biggest names compete. And the best part about this year’s games is knowing that my AFC team is going to end Eli’s two-year run of luck with the NFC.”

The NFL’s statement included a fitting retort from Eli.

“I love everything about the Pro Bowl Games,” Eli said. “And getting to hear Peyton complain about losing every year makes it even better.”

Fan voting for the 2025 Pro Bowl will open on Nov. 25. The list of Denver Broncos players worthy of consideration this season includes guard Quinn Meinerz, left tackle Garett Bolles, defensive end Zach Allen, pass rushers Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper, and cornerbacks Pat Surtain, Riley Moss and Ja’Quan McMillian.

Since switching to a flag football format, Eli’s NFC is 2-0 against Peyton’s AFC in the revamped Pro Bowl Games.

Peyton Manning and Eli star in funny King’s Hawaiian commercials

Peyton and Eli Manning continue their sibling rivalry in King’s Hawaiian funny new commercials.

Peyton Manning and his brother, Eli, joined King’s Hawaiian last year in a two-year marketing campaign promoting the company’s sliders and pretzel bites.

After debuting last fall, the former NFL quarterbacks returned with several new commercials this year continuing the “Slider Sunday” campaign.

“The versatility of their sliders means whether it’s tailgating during football season, enjoying a backyard barbeque or really just ending any weekend on a high note, we’re covered with King’s Hawaiian,” Peyton ssaid in a press release. “We’ve enjoyed working with their great team and look forward to more great moments to come.”

The commercials were created and produced by Omaha Productions, Peyton’s production company.

Here’s the first commercial in which Eli “saves Slider Sunday again” by remembering to bring the sliders that Peyton forgot:

Eli once again saved “Slider Sunday” in a new ad this fall:

And the brothers showed off their snack stands in another ad:

In a fourth commercial, the brothers break down the Xs and Os of sliders:

The commercials will air during football season this fall.

Arch Manning’s college stats are extremely impressive

Arch Manning has completed 70.5% of his passes for 900 yards with 9 TDs against 2 INTs at Texas. He also has 3 TDs on the ground.

Arch Manning broke high school records set by uncles Peyton and Eli during his time at Isidore Newman in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Now he’s off to an impressive start at the college level.

The redshirt freshman appeared in just two games with the Texas Longhorns last fall. He has already made four appearances this season, including two consecutive starts following an injury suffered by starter Quinn Ewers.

In his start against Mississippi State on Saturday, Arch went 26-of-31 passing (83.9%) for 324 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. He also rushed for 33 yards and a touchdown in a 35-13 victory.

Here are Arch’s highlights against Mississippi State:

This season, Manning has now completed 70.5% of his passes for 900 yards with nine touchdowns against two interceptions in four appearances. He has also rushed for 82 yards and three touchdowns.

Arch is the son of Cooper Manning, the older brother of Peyton and Eli. Cooper was a star wide receiver in high school, but his football career was cut short by spinal stenosis before college.

Arch appears to be well on his way to continuing the Manning football legacy.

Eli Manning had a funny reaction to Arch Manning’s first college start

Eli Manning wanted to drop in to remind everyone that he had a better college debut than Archie, Peyton and Arch.

Arch Manning made the first start of his college football career on Saturday, helping the Texas Longhorns defeat the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks 51-3.

After the game, many fans and pundits were quick to compare the stats of Arch to his uncle’s first NCCA starts — and his grandfather’s, too.

Archie Manning (the patriarch of the family) threw for 116 yards and had two touchdowns against one interception in his first start at Ole Miss in 1968.

Peyton Manning was limited to 79 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions in his Tennessee debut in 1994. Arch Manning had 258 yards with two scores and two interceptions on Saturday.

Eli Manning topped them all with 271 passing yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions in his first start at Ole Miss in 2001.

Eli took to Twitter/X on Monday to let his dad, brother and nephew know that he bested them: “I win!”

Arch’s father, Cooper Manning, was a star wide receiver in high school, but his football career was cut short by spinal stenosis before college. Cooper is the older brother of Peyton and Eli.

Peyton and Eli both won two Super Bowls in the NFL — Peyton won one title with the Indianapolis Colts and another with the Denver Broncos. Eli won two titles with the New York Giants.

Eli’s son, Charley (6), made his flag football debut on Saturday. Peyton’s son, Marshall (13), is a youth football player. They’ll look to follow in the footsteps of their dads and their cousin, Arch, in the coming years.

Arch Manning wins first college start at Texas (watch his highlights)

Arch Manning threw two touchdown passes (and two interceptions) in his first college start on Saturday, a 51-3 win over ULM.

Texas Longhorns redshirt freshman quarterback Arch Manning started the first game of his college career against the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks on Saturday, a 51-3 win at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin.

Arch threw an interception on his first drive but bounced back with two touchdown passes. He later had another pass intercepted after it slipped through a teammate’s hands.

Arch finished the game 15-of-29 passing for 258 yards with two scores and two turnovers.

In his two appearances before Saturday’s start, Arch totaled 371 yards from scrimmage and scored seven touchdowns (five passing and two rushing). Arch started in the place of an injured Quinn Ewers against UL Monroe.

Arch Manning highlights

Elsewhere in the Manning family, Arch’s younger cousin, Charley (6), made his flag football debut on Saturday. Charley is the son of Eli Manning.

Arch is the son of Cooper Manning, the older brother of Eli and Peyton who had his football career cut short by spinal stenosis after high school.

Peyton’s son, Marshall (13), is also a quarterback, so with a trio of Mannings lining up under center, football fans can look forward to the Manning era continuing for years to come.

Arch wasn’t the only Manning who made his first start on Saturday

Charley Manning (6) made his first flag football start on Saturday. Like his cousins Arch (19) and Marshall (13), Charley is a quarterback.

Arch Manning (19) made the first start of his college career on Saturday night when the Texas Longhorns hosted the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin.

Arch’s younger cousin, Charley (6) also made his first football start on Saturday. Eli Manning posted a video of his son playing flag football on his Twitter/X page.

“Arch is not the only Manning to get his first start today,” Eli captioned the video of Charles completing a pass:

Arch is the son of Cooper Manning, who is the older brother of former NFL quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Eli Manning.

Peyton’s son, Marshall (13), is a youth football player who has shown off his strong arm at the Pro Bowl. Marshall is also a quarterback, and his youth football league banned his team from running the “Tush Push” play.

Arch won’t be eligible for the NFL draft before 2026 at the earliest. While Arch plays in college, Marshall is nearing high school and Charley is just beginning his football journey. May the Manning era long continue.

Texas will start QB Arch Manning vs. Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday

Peyton Manning’s nephew, Arch Manning, will make the first college start of his career when Texas hosts Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday.

The Texas Longhorns will start redshirt freshman quarterback Arch Manning against the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks on Saturday, coach Steve Sarkisian announced Thursday.

Manning, 19, played well last week after replacing an injured Quinn Ewers against the UTSA Roadrunners. Ewers left the game with an abdominal injury in the second quarter after helping Texas build a 14-0 lead.

Arch then entered the game and scored five touchdowns — four passing and one rushing — in an eventual 56-7 win.

Now, with Ewers still recovering, the Longhorns (3-0) are set to start Arch when they host Louisiana-Monroe (2-0) at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday. It will mark the first start of Arch’s college career.

https://twitter.com/TexasFootball/status/1836804687959368049

In two appearances this season, Manning has completed 77.8% of his passes for 318 yards with five touchdowns against zero interceptions. He has also rushed six times for 53 yards and two touchdowns.

Arch is the son of Cooper Manning, who is the older brother of former NFL quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Eli Manning. Cooper was a star wide receiver in high school but his football career was cut short by spinal stenosis before college.

A new Manning era will begin on Saturday when UT hosts ULM at 6:00 p.m. The game will broadcast on SEC Network Plus and on ESPN+.

Who is Arch Manning’s father?

Arch Manning’s father, Cooper, is the older brother of Peyton and Eli. His football career was cut short by spinal stenosis before college.

Arch Manning is currently sitting behind Texas Longhorns starting quarterback Quinn Ewers, but the 19-year-old quarterback is already a household name, thanks to his name.

Arch Manning’s father is Cooper Manning, who is the brother of more well-known former NFL quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Eli Manning.

The patriarch of the family is Archie Manning — Arch’s grandfather — who had three sons — Cooper, Peyton and Eli — with his wife, Olivia. That makes Peyton and Eli uncles to Arch.

All three sons were star football players at Isidore Newman School in New Orleans, Peyton and Eli as quarterbacks and Cooper as a wide receiver. After high school, Cooper was diagnosed with spinal stenosis, which ended his football career before he had a chance to play in college football at Ole Miss.

Peyton and Eli went on to later play in the NFL, and they both won a pair of Super Bowls. Peyton won titles with the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos, and Eli won two Super Bowls with the New York Giants.

Because of his family pedigree, football fans have big expectations for Arch. He is still a backup at Texas, though, and the young QB won’t be eligible for the NFL draft before 2026 at the earliest. So there’s still plenty of time for Arch to write his own football story with support from his dad, Cooper.
