Like many college quarterback across the country, Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning is currently attending the Manning Passing Academy as a quarterback counselor. As a Manning himself, this has to feel like a quarterback camp Arch has been around since he was old enough to hold a football; however, this year, he is bringing jokes with him.
A photo is now going around social media of Manning at the passing academy, and the Texas quarterback looks totally jacked in the photo, a little too jacked to be honest. After seeing the photo himself, Manning had the best response to a photo that was just a little too good to be true.
"Ai, I got noodle arms," Manning said in response to the post.

Manning was quick to point out that the photo was not truthful when it comes to how he really looks, which just makes it all so much better. In reality, every Texas fan knows that Manning does not have noodle arms; he may not have the biggest arms, but they certainly are not noodles.
Sometimes you just have to laugh at what gets made using AI online, and Manning took the opportunity to do just that.
Arch Manning has a lot to prove going into the 2026 season
The expectations for Manning have been sky high throughout his entire college career to this point. That is what comes with having the name 'Manning' on your back, and Arch has certainly felt the pressure. From playing sparingly his freshman season, to taking over during his sophomore campaign, Manning has not led Texas to the stellar seasons many hoped he would.
Now, heading into his third season, the expectations are still high, but doubt has entered the minds of the college football world, wondering if Arch has given everything he can. Even in EA Sports College Football 27, Manning was named as the No. 6 quarterback in the game.
This could be the year, though, that it all clicks into place for Manning. He is no longer the freshman not getting enough playing time to get comfortable anymore. He is not the sophomore learning how to be the full-time starter anymore. Now he is the junior with two years of experience under his belt and the chance to break out as the star everyone has always believed he would be.
There is no telling if this is the last college football season for Manning, as he does have the choice to declare for the 2027 NFL Draft at the conclusion of this season. Manning is already being looked at as one of the top prospects, and if he can impress even more this season, the No. 1 pick could be in play for the Manning legacy.
While some believe that Manning will not be the best quarterback in college football, Texas fans are ready to see Manning prove everyone wrong. The 2026 season could be the big one for Manning and open all the doors everyone expected him to open at Texas.
