New Orleans-based QB facility shares video of Arch Manning's workout ahead of season

Texas Longhorns starting quarterback Arch Manning worked out in New Orleans ahead of the college football season.

Manning has spent the last two years as the Longhorns' backup learning from Quinn Ewers. In 2025, he will finally get the chance to start, and before the season, he put in the hard yards at a quarterback training facility in New Orleans.

QBC New Orleans shared a video of the session on Instagram.

"Great day with Arch and Eli! They came to work," they captioned the post.

Manning worked out with Eli Friend, who's in the class of 2026 and has committed to Princeton. Manning was seen throwing the ball with different arm angles and pivoting.

QB Country is a training facility founded by former Ole Miss quarterback David Morris. It helps attendees improve their footwork and throwing mechanics among other aspects.

The New England Patriots' Drake Maye and Denver Broncos' Bo Nix are two of the most prominent quarterbacks to have trained at QB Country.

Arch Manning finally gets his chance to start at Texas

Arch Manning was a five-star recruit coming out of high school, but he committed to Texas, despite having to be the backup for two seasons.

After sitting for two years, Manning will finally get his chance to start.

“It was tough. I mean, it’s tough in this age,” Manning said of the waiting, via The Athletic. “But I hope it pays off. There’s nowhere else I want to be. I want to be at Texas. I’ve got friends here; I love this place. Sometimes it’s worth the wait.”

Manning did start two games last season, but this is his first full season as the starter. He believes starting and appearing in games last season will help him in 2025.

“Anytime you get game reps, that’s just such a help, and I’m really glad I got to play those games,” Manning said. “It’s also a good way for me to play in front of people, in front of 100,000, so that was definitely the biggest thing for me."

Manning went 61-for-90 for 939 yards, nine touchdowns, and two interceptions last season. He also rushed for 108 yards and four touchdowns.

Texas will open its 2025 college football season in a potential championship preview on Aug. 30 against Ohio State.
