Charles Manning (born April 27, 2005) is an American football quarterback for the Texas Longhorns and a member of the renowned Manning family.
Archibald "Arch" Manning comes from one of the most famous families in American football. He is the son of Cooper Manning, the eldest of the three Manning brothers, and the grandson of Archie Manning, a legendary NFL quarterback. Arch's uncles are Peyton and Eli Manning, both of whom were Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks during their illustrious NFL careers.
Here’s more about his family:
Archie Manning (Grandfather): Played 14 seasons in the NFL, primarily with the New Orleans Saints. He was a star quarterback at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) and is widely regarded as one of the greatest college quarterbacks of his time.
Peyton Manning (Uncle): Considered one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history, Peyton had a long and successful career, mainly with the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos. He won two Super Bowls and was a five-time NFL MVP.
Eli Manning (Uncle): Eli also had an exceptional NFL career, playing 16 seasons with the New York Giants. He won two Super Bowl championships, both times defeating Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, and earned Super Bowl MVP honors in both games.

Arch Manning is carrying on the family legacy and is considered one of the top quarterback prospects in college football.
Arch Manning has been impressive in his early 2024 season with the Texas Longhorns. He stepped in as quarterback when starter Quinn Ewers was sidelined with an injury. Manning had a breakout performance against UTSA, throwing for five touchdowns and rushing for one. His ability to lead the offense and make explosive plays quickly won over fans and analysts alike, with many now seeing him as a future star. Manning's performances suggest he is well on his way to continuing his family’s football legacy
As of September 2024, Arch Manning is Texas' backup quarterback, ranked second on the depth chart behind Quinn Ewers. While Ewers remains the starter, Manning is widely regarded as one of the most promising young quarterbacks, having been the top recruit in the 2023 class. He made a few appearances in the 2023 season but is seeing more action in 2024, especially stepping in when Ewers was injured during a recent game against UTSA. Manning performed impressively, throwing for four touchdowns and rushing for another, which significantly boosted his stock.
Despite this strong showing, Ewers' established role as the starter keeps Manning in a backup role for now. However, with his potential and recent performance, Arch Manning is likely to be a key part of Texas' future under center
Quinn Ewers, Texas Longhorns' starting quarterback, suffered an abdominal strain during the second quarter of their September 14, 2024, game against UTSA. He initially showed strong performance, completing 14 of 16 passes for 185 yards and two touchdowns before the injury. After making a deep pass, he waved for medical attention and later exited the game. Ewers was replaced by Arch Manning, who delivered a dominant performance in relief.
While the specifics of Ewers' recovery timeline are still being clarified, it appears he will need time to recover fully from the strain. His status for upcoming games, especially as Texas moves into tougher SEC competition, remains uncertain
Quinn Ewers is still the starting quarterback for the Texas Longhorns, but there have been questions about his health and consistency. After suffering an injury in 2023, Ewers bounced back to lead Texas in 2024. However, a recent injury in a game against UTSA opened the door for Arch Manning to step in.
Quinn Ewers is currently in a relationship with Madelyn "Mady" Barnes. They began dating in early 2023, and their relationship has since gained attention, especially among Texas Longhorns fans. They celebrated their first anniversary in February 2024, marking the milestone with heartfelt social media posts. Mady frequently attends Quinn's games and shares glimpses of their relationship on Instagram, where she has a growing follower base.
Mady Barnes, who maintains a relatively private life, has not revealed much about her background or profession. However, her strong support for Quinn is evident, often seen cheering him on during key moments in his football career. Despite her public presence with Ewers, she keeps personal details low-key, focusing primarily on their shared experiences and travels
Arch Manning, despite being in the spotlight due to his famous family and football career, tends to keep his personal life relatively private. As of 2024, he has not publicly revealed any details about a romantic relationship. Reports suggest that Arch remains focused on his college football career and personal development, with no confirmed girlfriend or significant other at this time. His low profile off the field contrasts with the heavy attention he garners on it, where he is seen as a rising star and potential NFL prospect
