Texas QB Arch Manning '100 percent' after foot surgery

Arch Manning will not participate in the open scrimmage for Texas fans on Saturday but head coach Steve Sarkisian likes the Longhorns' chances of getting their QB1 back with no limitations following offseason foot surgery.

Manning played through foot pain in 2025 and underwent a "minor" procedure that limited him in spring practices. Manning participated in select 7-on-7 sessions and position workouts but was not fully available.

"I feel 100% right now. We're kind of taking it slow. But if we had a game today, I'd be playing," Manning said Wednesday.

Sarkisian said Manning is "ready to rock and roll" when June training sessions begin. Manning said he'll plan to host his receivers and other skill players in New Orleans for workouts and "good food, maybe go fishing."

One newcomer is transfer wide receiver Cam Coleman, a transfer from Auburn who has 93 career catches and 13 touchdowns. He sent Manning a text when he made the decision to team up at Texas.

"I was pretty fired up and let out some loud screams," Manning said.

Coleman has not played against Texas in two SEC seasons, but he was well known to fans in Austin before he became one of the top five players in the transfer portal in the offseason.

One of Coleman's marquee games to date came as a freshman on Nov. 23, 2024, in Auburn's four-OT win against Texas A&M. Coleman had seven receptions for 128 yards and two TDs.

Manning replaced Quinn Ewers as the Texas starter in 2025 and had 3,163 passing yards, 26 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
