Arch Manning Makes Decision to Block Out Social Media Noise
Since his days as the No. 1 ranked recruit in the nation, Arch Manning has been one of the most talked-about players in football.
Arch Manning, the highly anticipated quarterback for the Texas Longhorns, has decided to disconnect from social media for the remainder of the 2026 college football season. This choice, shared with team insider CJ Vogel, comes as no surprise given Manning's status as the nation's top-ranked recruit during his high school years. Despite this decision, Manning has expressed a willingness to stay in touch with a few high school friends through the platform.
When football is the topic of conversation, Manning simply clicks "not interested." During his inaugural season as the Longhorns' starting quarterback in 2025, Manning showcased his skills by completing 61.4% of his pass attempts, throwing for 3,163 yards, 26 touchdowns, and seven interceptions, along with contributing 399 yards and 10 more scores on the ground.
Texas fans will soon have the chance to witness Manning's talents again as the team kicks off its 2026 schedule against Texas State on September 5, followed by a highly anticipated matchup against Ohio State on September 12 in Austin.
