Sun Dec 08 00:50:00 UTC 2024: ## Manning Mania: Arch Manning’s Potential Debut Could Spark NFL Draft Speculation

**ATLANTA, GA** – Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers is set to start today’s SEC Championship game against the Georgia Bulldogs, but the potential appearance of redshirt freshman Arch Manning has already ignited NFL Draft buzz. While Ewers will likely lead the offense, Manning’s possible entry into the game will undoubtedly raise questions about the highly touted prospect, particularly among viewers unfamiliar with the family lineage.

Manning, who boasts impressive stats this season (67.8% completion rate, 939 passing yards, nine touchdowns, and two interceptions, along with 95 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns), is the son of Cooper Manning, the older brother of NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning. Cooper, a former high school star whose football career ended prematurely due to injury, is a significant figure in the family’s football history.

Arch Manning is not draft-eligible until at least 2026, although he could follow his uncles’ path and remain in college until 2027. For now, the focus remains on his performance in the SEC Championship game and his quest to secure the starting quarterback position for the Texas Longhorns in 2025.
