Breaking News: Arch Manning Reaches $205.8M Deal, Decommits from Texas Longhorns and Flips Commitment to Georgia Bulldogs Football
In an unprecedented turn of events, 5-star quarterback Arch Manning has officially decommitted from the Texas Longhorns and flipped his commitment to the Georgia Bulldogs. The highly touted recruit, who is considered one of the top prospects of the 2025 class, shocked the college football world by announcing he has reached a massive $205.8 million endorsement deal as part of his decision to join the Bulldogs. This monumental deal marks a new era in college football recruiting, as NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals continue to reshape the landscape of college athletics.
Manning, the nephew of NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning, had been committed to Texas for over a year. However, after extensive discussions with family, advisors, and Georgia’s coaching staff, Manning made the decision to flip his commitment to the reigning national champions. The offer from Georgia, along with the lucrative NIL deal, convinced Manning that the Bulldogs were the right fit for his future both on and off the field.
The deal, reportedly the largest in college football history, includes endorsement opportunities with major brands, as well as significant support for Manning’s personal brand development. The financial package comes as a result of Georgia’s growing football prominence and their vision for Manning’s role as the face of their offense for years to come.
“I’m beyond excited to announce that I’m joining the Georgia Bulldogs,” Manning said in his announcement. “Georgia has been incredibly supportive of me, not only as a football player but as a person. The coaching staff, the program’s legacy, and the opportunities available to me here are unmatched. I believe Georgia will help me grow into the player and leader I aspire to be.”
Manning’s flip to Georgia is seen as a massive coup for head coach Kirby Smart, who has built a championship-caliber program in Athens. With Manning in the fold, the Bulldogs secure a future star who will help solidify their position as one of the top programs in college football for years to come. Manning’s ability to make an immediate impact on Georgia’s offense will have fans buzzing, as he brings both skill and star power to the Bulldogs.
The news is also a major setback for Texas, where many had hoped Manning would lead the Longhorns back to national prominence. However, Texas will now need to regroup as it continues to rebuild under head coach Steve Sarkisian.
For Georgia, this commitment from Manning is a statement of intent as they continue to recruit at the highest level. The combination of Manning’s talent and the powerful NIL deal is sure to make Georgia a dominant force in college football for the foreseeable future.
