AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas quarterback Arch Manning is doing light workouts so far in spring practice following offseason foot surgery. But he said Wednesday that his body is as strong as it's been since he had what school officials said was a minor procedure in January. “I feel 100 percent right now.
We're kind of taking it slow, but if we had a game today I'd be playing,” Manning said. “Obviously when you're not out there, you're kind of antsy. It was hard the first few weeks just not being able to do anything.
Now I get to do a little bit more. ” Manning is coming off his first season as the Longhorns' full-time starter. The nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning passed for 3,163 yards and 26 touchdowns and ran for 10 TDs in 2025.
While he waits to do more on the field, he’s been focused on mental reps, footwork drills and getting to know some of his new teammates. “It’s been different, but it’s been good,” Manning said. “It’s honestly been unique for me getting a bunch of mental reps and kind of being off to the side.
