Arch Manning Shows Different Side of Himself With Prank on Teammate originally appeared on Athlon Sports. With college football stars having a larger platform than ever before, fans around the sport have a chance to get to know them on a personal level of sorts. Advertisement Whether it's via TikTok dances, podcasts or vlogs, there has never been an era of athlete that is as in the spotlight as the ones today. However, arguably the biggest name in all of college football may be the most mysterious player in the country. Texas quarterback Arch Manning is heading into his first season as the starter, but thanks to his lineage that also features Super Bowl champs Peyton and Eli Manning, fans have been looking out for him since his senior year at Isidore Newman School in New Orleans. Although he is a huge name, he isn't very active on social media, and anytime he has spoken to the media, has been very buttoned up. On Thursday, fans were able to see a new side of Manning thanks to a video shared to TikTok by wide receiver Parker Livingstone.

After Livingstone called receiver Aaron Butler, Manning called safety Derek Williams. While Butler seemed to not be aware of the trend, Williams caught on right away. "Aye Bruh," Willaims said. "You over here with your little TikTok trend."

Despite being the backup this past season, Manning started two games and also ended up being used as a wildcat quarterback at the end of the season. He ended the year with 939 yards passing and nine touchdowns through the air, and four on the ground.
