Cooper Manning is the first child of Archie Manning, the patriarch of the uber-successful Manning family. Cooper, an entrepreneur, was a standout wide receiver in high school in New Orleans, but when he arrived at Ole Miss, Archie Manning's alma mater, he was diagnosed with narrowing of the spine and never played college football.

But that didn't stop him from having a successful career in and around the game that made his family famous.

Today, we will spotlight Cooper Manning's children as we look at what they are up to. Cooper and his wife, Ellen, have three children: two sons and a daughter. So, you can keep reading to find out what they do for a living.

What do Cooper Manning's sons do?

Cooper Manning's sons are active football players in college and high school. The first son is Arch Manning, the No. 1 prospect in his class and someone you've probably heard about.

Arch Manning was named after Cooper's dad, Archie, who was the first Manning to play in the NFL. However, Arch might become even more popular than his legendary father when it's all said and done.

The tall and elegant QB had dozens of top-tier colleges fawning over his talents and making offers. He played at his father's alma mater, Isidore Newman School, where Peyton Manning and Eli Manning starred, breaking almost every school passing record. He committed to the University of Texas to play college football in 2023.

Cooper Manning's second son is Heid Manning, born in 2006. Heid is notably the only person in the Manning family tree who neither plays quarterback nor wide receiver. Instead, he lines up at the center and remains the starting center for Newman. He protected his brother throughout their joint stay there, and it is more than likely that he will join Cooper eventually in at UT.

What does Copper Manning's daughter do?

Cooper and his wife, Ellen, have one more child, a daughter named May, who happens to be the oldest child in the household. Unlike her brothers, May isn't involved in football but volleyball, where she has carved out her niche. Mary played volleyball at the Academy of the Sacred Heart and is currently a freshman at the University of Virginia.

Cooper's oldest child is a very talented volleyball player, and she led her Sacred Heart team, a traditional powerhouse, to the Louisiana state volleyball championship in 2020. That showed the world that the Mannings aren't just good at football, but other sports.
