Arch Manning, quarterback for the Texas Longhorns, recently underwent minor foot surgery. The procedure was a preventative measure to address a previous injury, as reported by Tara Brolley of CBS Austin.
He is anticipated to have limited participation in offseason workouts but is expected to return for spring football practice. Manning played in all 13 games for the Longhorns during the 2025 season.
Manning served as a backup behind Quinn Ewers in 2023 and 2024. He became Texas' full-time starter for the 2025 campaign. The Longhorns were ranked No. 1 in the preseason AP Top 25 poll for that season.
In his first five appearances of 2025, Texas began the year with a 3-2 record. Manning completed 60.0 percent of his throws for 1,151 yards, 11 touchdowns, and five interceptions. Over his subsequent eight games, he completed 62.1 percent of his passes for 2,012 yards, 15 touchdowns, and two interceptions.
The specific timing of the foot injury requiring surgery is not stated. Despite the injury, Manning recorded 399 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns during the season.
Texas concluded the season with a 10-3 record. The team did not qualify for the College Football Playoff but defeated Michigan 41-27 in the Citrus Bowl. For the 2026 season, Texas aims for a potential playoff appearance. Head coach Steve Sarkisian's program secured the No. 3 transfer class in the country, according to 247Sports.
