Arch Manning, the Texas Longhorns' backup quarterback and a member of the storied Manning football family, has confirmed his inclusion in EA Sports' highly anticipated College Football 25 video game. This decision marks a reversal from earlier reports in March where he had opted out, preferring to focus on his on-field performance. Manning announced the news in a playful video alongside his uncle, Eli Manning, which has been well-received by fans on social media. Over 10,000 players have opted into the game, each receiving $600 and a copy of the game as part of a name, image, and likeness (NIL) agreement. College Football 25 is set for release on July 19, ending an 11-year hiatus for the franchise. Despite his backup status behind Quinn Ewers, Arch Manning's inclusion adds significant star power to the game's roster.
