Texas Longhorns QB Arch Manning Shares Devastating News About His Father
In an emotional announcement that has shaken the Texas Longhorns football community, Arch Manning, the highly-touted freshman quarterback, revealed devastating news about his father, Cooper Manning. The younger Manning shared that his father, who has long been a source of inspiration and support for him, has been diagnosed with a serious health condition that will require immediate attention and treatment.
Arch, the grandson of NFL legend Archie Manning and nephew to quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning, posted the heartbreaking update on his social media accounts late last night. “It is with a heavy heart that I share with you that my dad, Cooper, has been diagnosed with a condition that will require ongoing treatment,” Arch wrote. “We are all staying strong as a family, and our thoughts are with him as he begins his journey toward recovery.”
Cooper Manning, who has long been a figure of strength and support in the Manning family, has had his own health struggles in the past, including a diagnosis of spinal stenosis that ended his promising football career at Ole Miss.

The news comes just as Arch begins to make his mark at Texas, following in the footsteps of his famous uncles. Fans and teammates alike have expressed their support for Arch during this difficult time, with Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian offering his thoughts and prayers for the Manning family.
In the midst of this personal challenge, Arch has stated that he remains focused on his football journey but will be taking time as needed to be with his father and family. The Manning family has requested privacy during this difficult period, and fans have flooded social media with messages of love and support for Cooper Manning’s recovery.
