Arch speaks on his first NIL deal with Panini

This is the first NIL deal that Arch has signed during his time in college. While Arch certainly had plenty of opportunities to sign lucrative NIL deals since he arrived on the Forty Acres to start his collegiate career in January, he’s made it clear that wasn’t his top priority right away.

Arch spoke about getting his first trading card and NIL deal with Panini, saying this is something “he could’ve never imagined growing up”.

"“Getting my first Panini trading card is something I couldn’t have imagined growing up,” said ArchManning, University of Texas QB. “Working with Panini to have my first trading card benefit the largercommunity is special. Helping children live healthy and fulfilling lives is something that has always beenimportant to my family.”"

Texas now boasts the only two Panini Exclusive athletes among college football quarterbacks, Arch and redshirt sophomore Quinn Ewers.

A couple of weeks ago, Ewers announced that he also agreed to an exclusive deal with Panini for an autographed trading card.
