After graduating from high school next year, Arch Manning plans to attend Texas, which has most certainly already earned him millions of dollars.
Manning’s NIL valuation is valued by On3 Sports at $3.4 million, the highest sum among all football players. On3 Senior Editor Jeremy Crabtree described the five-star quarterback as “a valuable commodity no matter where he would have gone,” according to Koki Riley of the Lafayette Daily Advertiser. The Louisiana recruit, though, has a “tremendous market” in Texas, according to him.
The value of Manning increased from $3.1 million after his commitment to Texas.
“Arch is a valuable commodity no matter where he would have gone,” On3 Sports Senior Editor Jeremy Crabtree said.
“On3’s estimation is not a projection but rather a snapshot of what Manning is worth now. It’s an important distinction to make given that his ceiling as a NIL figure is nowhere near its potential.
Despite the new law, Manning has yet to do any NIL deals. He hasn’t made any plans to team up with either of his uncles for an NIL deal. But if he were to do so, On3 Sports College Business Sports reporter Pete Nakos suggests it could elevate his NIL value significantly.”
Manning’s lack of activity, whether it be on social media or in the NIL space, doesn’t rule out the chance of him becoming as high or a higher-valued athlete. He has just one tweet sent and one picture posted to Instagram — both announcing his commitment to Texas. And last year, he only had a private Instagram and no Twitter account.
“It’s interesting, people love to follow him,” Nakos said. “It’s almost like his social media accounts are almost not even necessary for him to have a strong valuation just because of how much people care about what he does.”
In the short one-year history of NIL, Manning is arguably its brightest star. Already, his potential earning power is almost limitless despite being a high schooler.
