How big and fast is Arch Manning? Height, weight, and 40 time

This week, all eyes are on Arch Manning, the highly-touted Texas Longhorns quarterback. Following a big win last weekend, the Longhorns faced a powerful change when their starting QB, Quinn Ewers, suffered an oblique injury. This opened the door for Manning to step into the spotlight.

The freshman sensation truly impressed, delivering an outstanding performance with five touchdowns—four through the air and one explosive rushing score against the Colorado State Rams. Measurements from Reel Analytics and Next Gen Stats show that Manning clocked a speed faster than NFL star Tyreek Hill when he scored an 80-yard touchdown for the Miami Dolphins in Week 1, reaching a speed of over 20.3 miles per hour versus the 20.1 from the NFL superstar. According to On3′s data, Manning completes a 40-yard dash in 4.6 seconds.

Manning, the top recruit in his class, not only displayed his arm but also his athleticism, adding a new element to the Longhorns’ offense. His ability as a dual-threat quarterback has sparked speculation about the future of Texas football and whether a quarterback competition is brewing between Manning and Ewers.

Manning’s composed demeanor is equally impressive. Despite being the top recruit and a member of football’s most iconic family, he has remained patient and content to sit behind Ewers and soak in the college experience. His humility, combined with the staggering NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) potential of approximately $3.1 million, only adds to his on-field charisma.
