Manning, who is currently a quarterback for the University of Texas, has been making a name for himself in college football. If he plays just two more seasons with the Longhorns, he’ll be eligible to enter the 2027 NFL Draft.

For what it’s worth, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott would have just two years left on his four-year, $240 million deal with Dallas before the season. Manning obviously wouldn’t have to go far, and he would become the first of the Manning quarterbacks to play for the Cowboys.

Manning has a ways to go before he even thinks about the NFL. His focus is on Saturday’s SEC Championship Game in Atlanta, where No. 2 Texas plays No. 5 Georgia in a rematch from earlier this season. While Manning remains the starter, head coach Steve Sarkisian has found ways to get Manning involved this season.

Manning has appeared in seven games, throwing for 939 yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions on 67.8% passing. He has added 95 yards and four scores on the ground. Time will tell how much action he sees against the Bulldogs, though head coach Sarkisian is preparing as if his team will see him.
