Texas quarterback Arch Manning underwent "minor" foot surgery this week but is expected to take part in spring football practices, the university announced Friday.

The surgery was a "preventative measure to address a previous injury," per Texas officials. His participation in offseason workouts ahead of spring will be limited.

The university also reported surgery for five additional players, all of whom are expected to be full participants in the 2026 season. They are defensive back Xavier Filsaime (shoulder), left tackle Trevor Goosby (shoulder), wide receivers Emmett Mosley V (ankle) and Ryan Wingo (wrist), and linebacker Ty'Anthony Smith (shoulder).

As a redshirt sophomore in 2025, Manning completed 248 of 404 pass attempts for 3,163 yards with 26 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

In Manning's first full season as a starter, the Longhorns finished 10-3 and were ranked No. 12 in the final Associated Press Top 25 poll.
