Sat Dec 07 11:30:00 UTC 2024: ## Arch Manning’s Grandfather Hopes for Cowboy Future
**Austin, TX** – Arch Manning, the highly touted freshman quarterback for the University of Texas Longhorns, is making headlines even before he’s completed his first college season. His grandfather, NFL legend Archie Manning, has publicly declared his wish for Arch to eventually play for the Dallas Cowboys.
In a recent video posted on TikTok, Archie Manning stated that while he hopes Arch will play three more years at Texas, his ideal NFL destination for his grandson would be “America’s Team.” This declaration comes as Arch is still developing his game at Texas, where he’s already impressed with 939 passing yards, nine touchdowns, and two interceptions in seven games played. He’s also contributed 95 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the ground.
This announcement adds fuel to the speculation surrounding Arch’s future. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has two years remaining on his current contract, potentially opening a door for Manning in 2027, should he choose to enter the NFL Draft then. Archie Manning’s statement makes Arch the first of the famous Manning family quarterbacks potentially slated for the Dallas Cowboys.
Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart acknowledges Arch’s talent, describing him as “athletic, smart, thick… a great player,” and noting the dual threat he presents both as a runner and passer.
For now, Arch remains focused on the upcoming SEC Championship game against Georgia. While Quinn Ewers is the current starter, Arch’s contributions this season have been significant, and his future NFL prospects are undoubtedly generating substantial buzz.
