Texas announced Friday that Arch Manning underwent “minor foot surgery” earlier in the week.
The school said the procedure was “a preventative measure to address a previous injury.” Manning “will be limited during off-season workouts but is expected back during spring football.”

Manning was 248-of-404 passing for 3,163 yards, 26 TDs and seven interceptions in his first year as Texas’ starting quarterback. He was the preseason favorite for the Heisman despite throwing just 95 passes over his first two seasons of college football.
Manning’s season got off to a bit of a rough start as he threw an interception in each of Texas’ first three games and he had five picks through the first five games of the season. Things got a lot better after a Week 6 loss to Florida, however. Manning threw 15 TDs and just two interceptions across Texas’ final eight games of the season and rushed for scores in each of the Longhorns’ last three games.
He was named the MVP of the Longhorns’ Citrus Bowl win over Michigan after he was 21-of-34 passing for 221 yards and two scores while rushing nine times for 155 yards and two touchdowns. Manning ended up as Texas’ No. 2 rusher in 2025 with 92 carries for 399 yards and led the Longhorns with 10 rushing TDs. No other Texas player had more than three rushing scores.

Texas has bolstered its offense ahead of the 2026 season through the transfer portal. The Longhorns have added ex-Arizona State RB Raleek Brown and former NC State RB Hollywood Smothers and also landed star Auburn WR Cam Coleman. He’s set to pair with Texas’ top receiver Ryan Wingo to give the Longhorns one of the best receiving duos in the country in 2026. Texas also said Friday that Wingo had undergone offseason wrist surgery. Wingo had 54 catches for 834 yards and seven scores in 2025.
