Highly-rated quarterback Arch Manning has inked the first name, image and likeness deal of his career as he prepares for his freshman year.
University of Texas quarterback prospect Arch Manning, the nephew of NFL legends Peyton and Eli, has signed his first name, image and likeness (NIL) deal. It could net him hundreds of thousands of dollars in the years to come.
The 18-year-old, who was one of the most coveted quarterback prospects in the country before he committed to the Longhorns, has struck a multi-year agreement with Panini America to feature in its trading card products.
The financial details of the deal have not been disclosed, but Arch will not earn anything from his first trading card. A one-of-a-kind rookie card, called the “Arch Manning Throwback Prizm Black Autographed” will be auctioned and all proceeds will be donated to Texas children’s healthcare charity, St. David’s Foundation.
The winner of the auction will also get to meet Arch, whose grandfather Archie made the Pro Bowl twice and quarterbacked the New Orleans Saints, Houston Oilers and Minnesota Vikings in a 13-year NFL career. Arch’s uncles won two Super Bowls each to cap stellar careers.
