Texas QB Arch Manning Signs First NIL Deal

The freshman is one of the most hyped college football players for the 2023 season.

Texas quarterback Arch Manning, arguably the most hyped-up college football player of the 2023 season, has officially signed his first name, image and likeness deal with trading card company Panini America.

The multi-year NIL deal will include various signed trading cards from Manning, with the first card to be a single Prizm black autographed card that is set to be auctioned off for charity. The money will go to a Central Texas nonprofit with the help of St. David’s HealthCare and St. David’s Foundation.

The winner will also earn one-on-one time with Manning, which includes throwing and catching football passes from the new quarterback.

“Getting my first Panini trading card is something I couldn’t have imagined growing up,” Manning said in a statement, via ESPN. “Working with Panini to have my first trading card benefit the larger community is special. Helping children live healthy and fulfilling lives is something that has always been important to my family.”

Manning isn’t the only Texas quarterback to sign with Panini. The Longhorns’ starting quarterback, Quinn Ewers, also signed a deal with the trading card company.

Editors’ note, July 26 at 12:00 p.m. ET: An earlier version of this story misstated that Manning’s NIL money would go to St. David’s Healthcare and St. David’s Foundation. In fact, it is going to a Central Texas nonprofit.
