Arch Manning signs lucrative NIL deal as Texas Longhorn star becomes millionaire at age of just 19
Ahead of his debut as the starting quarterback for the Texas Longhorns, Arch Manning has signed a NIL contract.
The business move was disclosed on Thursday by the 19-year-old nephew of NFL legends Eli and Peyton Manning.
Red Bull posted a video on their Instagram account, revealing Manning’s NIL relationship with the energy drink business.
Before he completed his drink, the former five-star recruit threw a football into the air and sipped a Red Bull while the object was manipulated to remain in the air.
After catching the football and throwing it precisely into an archery target, Manning put on a Red Bulls hat and pointed to the camera as the video drew to a close.
As stated in the description, “target locked, wiiings secured @archmanning.”
