The Manning family, a dynasty of decorated quarterbacks, is set to take center stage when Texas football faces off against No. 13 Tennessee on Sept. 26 at Neyland Stadium. The family's football legacy spans three generations, with Archie Manning as the patriarch, followed by his sons Peyton and Eli, and now Arch Manning, the current star quarterback for Texas.

Arch's father Archie played quarterback at Ole Miss before being drafted second overall by the New Orleans Saints in 1971. Peyton, Arch's brother and Archie's uncle, is the most accomplished of the Manning family quarterbacks, winning two Super Bowls, five MVP awards and being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021. Eli, the younger brother of Arch and Peyton, was a standout at Ole Miss and won two Super Bowas with the New York Giants.

Cooper, the oldest son of Archie and grandfather of Arch, was a standout high school wide receiver but fell short in college due to spinal stenosis. Cooper's No. 18 jersey is honored by Peyton, who chose to wear it in his own NFL career. Arch, the current star quarterback for Texas, has made a strong start to his college career, completing 61.5% of his passes for 661 yards, seven passing touchdowns and two interceptions in his first season.

Marshall, the youngest member of the Manning quarterback lineage, plays as a backup quarterback at Baylor School in Chattanooga.
