Cooper Manning<\/strong> enjoyed parent life watching Arch Manning<\/a><\/strong> for Texas<\/strong><\/a> over the last two seasons. Although, the former wide receiver is going to be very nervous next season.<\/p>\n

After backing up Quinn Ewers<\/a><\/strong> the last two seasons, Arch Manning is slated to take over as the Texas Longhorns\u2019 starting QB in 2025. Cooper Manning is, of course, a celebrity amongst the Texas parents in the stands.<\/p>\n

A role he definitely relished!<\/p>\n

\u201c(The) last couple years, it\u2019s been pretty fun,\u201d Cooper Manning told Dan Patrick<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ve kind of enjoyed just being the backup quarterback\u2019s dad. It\u2019s pretty delightful. I\u2019m the crowned prince of the parent section. Do no wrong. But I think I\u2019ll be a lot more nervous and, you know, just probably biting fingernails. and head down, but I like sitting with the parents, we have great, Texas has a great parent section. Good, family oriented group, we sit with the fans\u00a0 \u2026 good group.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Cooper is going to be nervous watching his son next season, Arch Manning is calm, cool and collected. That\u2019s despite former Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy expecting a Heisman from Manning in 2025.<\/a><\/p>\n

Cooper Manning knows son Arch ready for spotlight in 2025<\/h2>\n

\u201cArch is a dog, man,\u201d Worthy said<\/a>. \u201cI expect nothing less than a Heisman. \u2026 He\u2019s gonna get [a national championship], too. To win the Heisman, you\u2019ve got to be in that conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the course of two seasons, Arch Manning got on the field a lot more in 2024. Not only can he sling it, he can run around like his grandfather Archie.<\/p>\n

Manning is 63-of-95 passing (66.3%) for 969 yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions. On the ground, he has 28 carries for 115 yards, four touchdowns and 4.1 yards per carry.<\/p>\n

As a member of the Class of 2023, Arch Manning was a five-star-plus recruit out of New Orleans (La.) Isidore Newman, according to the On3 Industry Ranking<\/a>, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 1 overall prospect in the state, the No. 1 quarterback in the class and the No. 1 overall prospect in the class.<\/p>\n

Arch doesn\u2019t necessarily want to create his own legacy like Hall of Fame uncle Peyton Manning and future Hall of Famer, his other uncle, Eli Manning.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I never really think about that. I\u2019m just here to play football,\u201d Manning said. \u201cIt\u2019s a game I love, grew up playing. You\u2019re out there with your friends playing every Saturday. What could get better than that? I\u2019m not here to take someone off the throne or like I\u2019m not worried about my legacy. I\u2019m just worried about playing ball and winning games.\u201d<\/p>\n
