How Is Arch Manning Related to the Manning Family?

Now that Arch Manning is filling in for Quinn Ewers as the starting quarterback of the Texas Longhorns, there’s been an explosion of interest in the redshirt freshman star.

For one thing, Manning became an overnight target in the Heisman Trophy odds market. Texas football odds are even more popular than before. 

In short, the emergence of Arch is driving a considerable amount of traffic to the BetMGM online sportsbook. Part of the mania was his excellent play in relief of Ewers against UTSA in Week 3, but a lot of it is undoubtedly because of his famous last name.

Unfortunately, no set of college football odds can explain the question that most fans are searching for: Where does Arch fit into the Manning family tree?

How Is Arch Related to the Manning Family?

Arch Manning is the nephew of the former NFL quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning. 

Peyton and Eli Manning each have a son, and either one may play college football some day. But because their kids are younger, that possibility is still years away. 

Peyton’s son Marshall is 13. Eli’s son Charlie is only six. 

Who Is Arch Manning’s Father?

Arch Manning is the son of Cooper, the infamous third Manning brother.

Cooper is the oldest son of former Saints quarterback Archie Manning. Like his younger brothers, Cooper played quarterback when he was a kid, but he was forced to retire after he was diagnosed with spinal stenosis. 

While Peyton and Eli went on to win four combined Super Bowls, Cooper developed a successful career in finance with AJ Capital Partners.

Manning Family Tree

Cooper Manning’s eldest child May plays volleyball at Virginia. His youngest son Heid also plays football, but he’s a center – not a quarterback.

Peyton’s son Marshall has a twin sister named Mosley. 

Before having Charlie, Eli and his wife had three daughters: Ava, Lucy, and Caroline.
