Texas QB Arch Manning Has Highest NIL Valuation, Many of Starting NFL QB

Despite not having played a single snap in a college football game, Cooper Manning’s son and nephew Arch Manning is already the most marketable athlete in the league.

A recent report from On3.com, a college sports website that uses data to determine athlete market values, states that Manning is currently valued at $3.8 million (nearly twice as much as any other college football player) outside of Caleb Williams, the quarterback for USC and the current Heisman winner. Williams’ reported value is $2.6 million.

For the most part of the season, Manning was the Texas Longhorns‘ third quarterback. He only saw a few snaps of action, though, and eventually had to redshirt. He is currently Quinn’s obvious heir apparent and QB2.

For comparison, below is a list of notable QBs who have started games this season who earned less in 2023 than Texas’ third-string QB’s valuation:

  • Justin Fields – $2.375 million
  • Nick Mullens – $2.1 million
  • Mac Jones $2.07 million
  • Kenny Pickett – $1.344 million
  • Aidan O’Connell – $1.259 million
  • Desmond Ridder – $948K
  • Sam Howell – $870K
  • Brock Purdy (MVP leader) – $870K
  • Bailey Zappe – $870K
  • Joe Flacco – $800K
  • Jake Browning – $750K
  • Tommy DeVito $416K

As the number-one prospect in the 2023 recruiting class by both 247Sports.com and Rivals.com, Manning enrolled early at Texas and will likely face competition for the starting quarterback position with the Longhorns from current starter Quinn Ewers and previous four-star recruit Maalik Murphy.

When Texas hosts the traditional Orange against. White spring football game at Darrell K. Royal Memorial Stadium on Saturday, all eyes will be on Manning. The 17-year-old signal-caller’s first season at Texas will undoubtedly come with high expectations, something Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian is well aware of.

That’s at least twelve quarterbacks who have started games in the NFL this season, including a few guys who are guaranteed to start as quarterback, all getting less money to not even play than Arch Manning is reportedly worth in 2023.

His season totals are seven running yards on three carries and thirty yards on two of five passes. For each passing yard he had this season, Arch is valued at about $100,000.

The good news for Arch is that, should Ewers retire after his anticipated 2024 comeback, he is scheduled to debut for Texas in 2025.

Manning may declare for the NFL Draft as early as 2026 since the league mandates that athletes must be at least three years out of high school before entering the professional ranks. Before then, he will have lots of chances to build his personal brand, and if he can secure the starting quarterback position.
