Not every agent is asking for more money from the Texas Longhorns as the football program allocates resources for next season — according to a Friday report from Inside Texas, redshirt sophomore quarterback Arch Manning will take a reduced portion of the football revenue sharing in 2026.

With major NIL deals with Red Bull, Panani, Uber, and Warby Parker, Manning began to capitalize on one of the highest NIL valuations in college football during his first season as a starter, so the Texas standout isn’t going to lack spending money in his second year as QB1 on the Forty Acres, but it is an acknowledgement that the Longhorns have some significant roster holes to fill, particularly along the offensive line.
